My Tessar works smoothly, but for your sluggish one, some careful standard vandalism might improve matters. Besides operating it a number of times to redistribute the lubrication, you might try a bit of gentle heating. Looking at the Tessar from the rear, you will notice one small guiding rail at the periphery of the (invisible) helix. If heating does not improve matters, dipping a toothpick in oil, letting it drip off and the carefully placing a microdrop of oil on the sides of the rail might possibly help. p. I have always been extremely cautious of bringing oil and cameras together. I have found that a tiny amount of lighter fluid used judiciously will work wonders in freeing seized and sluggish camera components. Mickey
