I just received a Nihon Seiki Mocronta 35 viewfinder camera. It's cute. That's what attracted me, plus the description read, very good condition (well, except for the dent in the finder housing, and the loose focus ring, but I digress). It has a Yamato look and feel, but it's not a Yamato variant. It's a sibling of the Ranger 35, and Nescon. My question for the day is, aren't apertures supposed to open symetrically, in a concentric pattern? This one opens eccentrically, and when fully open, still blocks some glass in a crescent pattern. I've seen that before and I'm just trying to determine if that's correct, or not. Is that right, or is this another problem with this camera? I'm not completely discouraged, just trying to assess what needs to be done. As usual, any input is appreciated. Thanks again, Michael
