Help: is this normal for a 90mm f2 APO Summicron

I just received an used 90mm f2 APO and found that the aperture ring can go a little beyond 2 and also 16. It actually feels like there is a "notch" beyond the 2 and 16 ( very slightly). Is this considered to be normal? I have never seen another 90mm f2 in person so any help is appreciated. TIA

Thanks for the quick reply. I did a search and did not see anything and my 35mm Summicron did not have this "feature".

 

Argh! Not this question again!

 

Yes it is normal, nothing to worry about. I guess it's a 'problem' from people not being used to lenses with aperture rings.

Some of my Leica lenses have this "play" but not my APO 90 f2 or my APO 75 f2

 

 

Question is - does this cause the blades to slip? Do you see a difference in your images? If not, there is no problem :)
