  • The focus ring was very stiff in this old Canon Lens 1:1.8 85mm LTM, but it's not that hard to fix.
    REMEMBER! To set small marks BEFORE unscrewing the helicoid, and set a mark WHEN the helicoid comes off the thread.
    I use Odourless Petroleum to cleaning the helicoids, and I use "LIQUI MOLY" LM47 with MoS2 ( Molydenumdisulfide ) to grease the helicoids, it gives a "buttery" focus ring.

    Thank you VERY much! Among my LTM lenses I have a 50mm 1.4 with a ridiculously long focus throw which is nice for nailing critical focus but it is stiffer than any other lens I own......time to rectify that situation! I may be old but I hope I never stop learning! 👍

    Is there any video of cleaning the Asahi Takumar 200mm F/3.5

    Have you ever opened up a Canon FD 85mm f1.2 L?
