Subject: [Leica] Lubricating a Jupiter 8
From: "Juan J. Buhler" <jbuhler@pdi.com>

Hi,
  
I finally got a Jupiter-9 (85mm) on Leica thread for my M6. The lens
looks good, but the focusing action is pretty stiff, as much as to
make me almost unscrew the lens from the adaptor sometimes. This is
the second specimen I go through, the first one was even stiffer.
  
Any tips on lubricating this lens?
  
Thanks,
  
j
