Yikes,
You did a nice CLA a year or so ago on mine. No hint of trouble yet.
Do I have a longer reprieve or should it
be sent for an end of summer vacation in Zuikoland?
Mike
Have you found a lube that would be less likely to migrate? They are
great lenses. I would be interested in having the lube removed from
mine and replaced with a tiny bit of something more stable .... ?
