The strange thing is ...

I have three HiMatics now, and there appear to be at least two different versions of it. On the inside, that is. You can see a slight difference in the mechanics when you remove the bottom plate ...

Anyways,

the front lens cel is removed, I flushed with Ronsonol, and the aperture blades look a bit peculiar now. In the middle the blades appear as they did before, a bit greyish, towards the edges they appear a tint darker now. Almost as if they are still wet. Which is impossible because the flush is THREE days ago. Cannot look into it now, have to go to bed.
My first guess is that the blades are indeed dirty, and that that very dirt soaked up some Ronsonol. I did not wipe the blades after the flushing.

Regards,


Paul.
