After repairs

I had a disaster the other day - my pristine, beautiful, 60+ year old Primotar lens' aperture blades got crossed up and misaligned (and that's putting it mildly) - I have spent a few sessions trying to take the lens apart (the retaining rings were locked solid). Finally I freed them, got into the lens and rebuilt the aperture blades in place. Some of the blades are a little bent, so I'll not stop it down too often, but as the bokeh is at it's best at full aperture anyway, 

Checked it out in the garden, as you can see it's working fine. This is a focus stack of back lit leaves, with the sun sparkling on smaller leaves in the background.
