Hi Everyone, new member and first time post.
Question is i have a Zorki 6 which requires CLA, but just wondering what sort of lubricants/grease you guys use??
Thanks in advance for your replies
 
I use more than one type. Things like the shutter mechanism I tend to use a lightweight oil or watch-oil on pivots. For winder mechanism gears I use a lightweight cycle grease or silicone-based grease. Basically, use an oil if it's not going to get spread everywhere and a grease if it is. Being a camera, you need lubricants that aren't 'heavyweight' - so no axle-grease!

P.S. Welcome to RFF!
 
Thanks for the information. I was thinking Moebius 9010 for light oil, but any recommendations on silicone grease manufacturers?
Regards
 
Do not overthink of grease. Zorki are crudes. It is more important to wash out completely old gunk. Then any synthetic oil with logically matching concistenncy will do.
Have fun with z6 film advance spring.
