Film Winder - can I oil it ?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Pentax 67 SLR : One Thread |
On my Pentax 67, the film winder has become a little stiff - it still works OK, but not as freely as it should. I know the winding mechanism can be a problem on this camera.My question is: Cn I lubricate the winder with a few drops of oil, or should I get the camera professionally serviced.
Thanks, Gordon.

My well used Asahi does the same thing as yours but my like new Asahi is quite smooth. They do wear over the years. I would not even consider oiling mine. If you are considering this, I would suggest calling Pentax first. SR
