Can you ask him about this 40mm Batis aperture issue as you focus closer? It's the first time ever I see this kind of behaviour. If the lens is closing down the iris as you focus closer (causing stop sign bokeh), it could very well be a software issue and not intended by design.
If it's, however, done on purpose, it'd be interesting to know why and what'll happen if you focus at MFD without stopping down.
Last option is that it's just an optical illusion that changes the way aperture is seen based on focusing distance, but it's very unusual and I still think that blades don't keep their orientation relative to each other.
