Anthopomorphized Camera
Hello all,
This is my first post on RFF. I just bought a Zorki 3-S with a Jupiter 8 lens, and when I started using it I found that the focus ring was extremely stiff, to the point where the lens could unscrew if you tried to focus with any reasonable speed.
I looked around and I found this page , and followed the directions, and now I have a buttery smooth action, so I thought I'd post it here in case others were thinking of doing the same.
It was surprisingly easy to do, just make sure you have a high percentage alcohol to use as a solvent (90% or higher).
Good luck!
