Concerning graphite lubrication, a small tip: forget about graphite powder. It will form "sparklers" on the surfaces of your lens no matter what you do.
Instead, just rub the places you want to lubricate (like the shutter blades and their pivot points) with a soft pencil. It'll leave just the right amount of graphite without leaving powdery residue that can migrate (and as we know, clean glass surfaces have a strange magnetic quality that attracts any loose foreign matter within a lens!). |
