The oil is going to be no more or no less mobile on the blades than it 
was where ever it originally came from. Remember we are talking about 6 
"teeny spots of oil". If the blades were wet with with oil that would 
be a different matter and probably because of incompetent servicing.

As to reflections, again 6 "teeny spots of oil"!? Am I going to throw 
away all my old lenses with shiny aperture blades? Do you? My old 
Hektor is a great performer stopped down and that is with very polished 
aperture blades? If only it was as good wide open when those 
"obviously" faulty blades were out of the way!

were problematic. If the negs look good, then who in h*** cares what is 
in the lens!)
