These lenses perform nearly identically to the K lenses they replaced.
Sorry, but I have a different opinion.

To do a quick check if its mechanical or dirt, let 1 drop (indirectly

If that loosens it up after some movement, its dirt.
The effect is temporary, (weeks ?) so a more definite cleaning is required.

did you look at the Novoflex Makroblitzset at

It connects around the front lens, and this way it eleminates exposure

So simple non TTL/AUTO flash units can be used.

The ME-II winder remote contacts do not turn the meter on, the camera does
