C'mon guys... this is Photography 101

Tsk tsk, how do you suggest we sharpen these aperture blades, supposing we're using new-fangled lenses instead of er, classic glassware?

I have found all of your input amazing and quite useful but I think the one I am going to go with is pouring the concrete, oh wait -beep, beep, beep, here comes the ready-mix truck now. Now I have to hop in my car and go get all my subject matter and bring it to this location so I can use my new "steadying device".............
