Never use lighter fluid on any lens that has not been completely disassembled! Ideally, you would take the aperture completely apart as well - but if you want to avoid that, soak the entire aperture (removed from the lens body, of course) in lighter fluid, and repeat until the bath stays clean. Let completely dry, and use a hair or thin needle to apply a very minuscule amount of camera safe oil (e.g. Nyoil) to each of the blades pivot pins before reassembly. |
