I got an Auto Takumar 35mm 2.3 from ebay recently. It came in without caps, and there are a lots of light scratches on the front glass. But I guess the single layer coating wasn't very good anyway, and I really like the "ugly" bokeh and the soft focus effect wide open. Zero CA at all.
But the focus ring is quite stiff. I wonder if anyone knows how to disassembly the lens and lubricate the helicoid. There is not much information on the web. And I know the structure is quite different from other Takumars. It is still usable. So before I know what I am doing, I would rather use it as is.
Any suggestion/information is appreciated.
BTW, anyone has the 62mm front cap can sell? I guess not
