Didier,

In my opinion my conclusion is the same as yours, if it not affects, it is
no necessary to risk dissambling a lens, neither expend money.

Thank you very much for your opinion
Luis

It was my believing that it has absolutely no influence except for the
collector's value. Almost all my old lenses (collapsible Summicron, 50/1.2
Canon, 35mm Nikkor, 50mm Nikkor, russians) have oily blades, no problems
with it. The Summicron was cla'd by focalpointlens and he could not remove
all the oil - I guess disassembling the blades is rather not recommended.
