Hey,

I managed to get my canon iff apart, and adjusted the shutter speeds. I am now wondering, what parts should be lubricated (and with what lubricant?).

I have never had to re-lube a camera before, and dont want to mess it up!

Cheers,
-gouranga

Golden rule is never lubricate a camera unless it really needs it and that too just where it is needed only, the minimum needed and the right lubricant for that part. An unnecesary lubrication can lead to more problems than it solves. If it is working leave it as it is. That is what I learnt from experience.
