Now, I must to lube a Nikkor 50/1.4 AI (non AIS), because the focussing ring is very heavy. I think that the old grease is now dry.
But I don't know how must I do for dissamble the focusing ring. I Think that the right way is dissamble the ring for clean with alcohol the helicoil and put the grease.
I've used in other lenses, the helical grease S-10 (light) but I don't like it very much, because I feel the friction between the two parts of the helical and it doesn't have a good "focussing touch".
The Nikkor lenses have a very light focusing touch, and I like it, but I don't know how kind of grease can give a good touch to the 50/1.4 that I want to lube.
