Nikon 50mm F1.4 sc Oil on Aperture Blades...

[Simon D.]

Hi Everyone, I am quite new to posting on this site so go easy on me if this is a common question. I have just acquired a Nikon 50mm 1.4 sc lens in LTM mount and it has oil on the aperture blades. Is this someting that I should be rushing to get CLA'd? Can I use it and keep an eye on the oil? Is the oil going to damage the elements at all? If it needs CLA where is the best place to send the lens? I'm based in the UK! Thanks in advance for any advise! Regards, Simon

Welcome, Simon.

Don't worry about it. Check for haze against strong backlight, every year or so.

Great lens.
