Where to repair stiff focus for Micro Nikkor (in EU)?

darkosaric · Jan 2, 2020

Hi all,

I got cheap Micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8 AiS, but focus is really hard and stiff. Where I can send it (in EU), and not pay the fortune?

Or even better - if some APUGer in EU who can do this is willing to help me ...

Thanks!

This is a great resource https://richardhaw.com/2016/02/22/repair-micro-nikkor-55mm-f2-8-ai-s/
The hard part is getting hold of the right lubricant. The stuff on eBay is super expensive.

You only need to get to the thread, cant remember how, but was fairly easy. Robin's link looks fairly concise.
Usually they just need cleaning and very light lube. Even if you dont (forget to) mark the barrels, its pretty easy to determine if they are right or not.

I dropped a 85 mm in the mud and that cleaned up easily to.

I don't trust myself to do this, I would rather let somebody else do it, I know myself.
