When you have a lubricant on your tripod, it gets on your hands, the 
Voila, on your camera. I lightly lubed my Leitz Tiltall and i am still 
trying to get all traces off the lubed areas before I use it again. 
Continues to drain a little. I guess i will be forced to spray it with 
ROR, ammonia and all.
