So, i know ths issue has been addressed here before, but my searches have come up empty...
My SV45ti has developed a very sticky focusing rail. The front standard is the one causing trouble, super dificult to get to move and it squeals when it does. I have not lubricated it or fiddled with any screws. The rear standard is fine, but i don't use it nearly as much since i mostly photograph with wide lenses.
What to do? I remember past threads recommending lubricating the rail, where does the lube go, and what type? Any other solutions?
