I picked up 2 zeiss 80mm lenses, identical. On one of them the focus ring will not move. I have compared it in every way/shape/form to the other lens to see if maybe theres some transit set-screw but nada. I was suddenly reminded me of my Ansco Memar Pronto which had the same issue, I read that the grease in there sometimes gets hard as cement. After a long time gently rocking it to & fro it freed itself up. I'm thinking thats the same issue here but pressure isn't working. Aside from normal household cleaners I've got alcohol, wd-40, liquid silicone and naptha. I've tried the alcohol but nothing happened, before i try more chems I thought about perhaps heating it up slightly with the air from a hot air hair dryer. Any suggestions ? |
