Greasing the Helicoid (Do it your self)

[denizg7]

Hi guys,

I don't want to annoy you guys with how much problems I've been experiencing with my new lens.

But long story short, when I looked at the back of my lens, there was some dust and some grease outside the lens, luckily I got some of it off with alcohol.

Last I blew the rocket blower and the dust got off, by mistake It pushed a tad bit of the grease on the outer tip of the helicoid more inside.

Now the begging (.7 cm) is very stiff unlike focusing infinite.


So my question is , if I keep focusing will it smooth out again?

If anyone has done this please let me know what methods and what type of grease you used.

Especially if you greased a Voigtlander Nokton 35mm or a 40mm 1.4 thanks
