No lube on the blades is necessary. It will change the color of the blades,
making the lens look "tampered".

Subject: Re: [OM] Re Oil on Aperture Blades
| Dad used mlybdenum disulphide grease on piston is the navy. Smear it on
the

| the first stroke.
|
| Dunno about aperture blades though.

| When I've rebuilt lenses I use dry molybdenum disulphide powder on the

moving
| parts then blow the excess out. Moly is also available in other
carriers -
| grease or a solvent-based carrier that evaporates after carrying the moly
| into crooks and nannies.
