if I may get you a clue: when you unscrew a helicoid ( at 22:43) make a mark at the point when an unscrewed ring comes off;this way is far easiest way to later reassabling.Cheers.
you have two lips in the optical assembly and two forks on the barrel, you need to align them, it takes some practice, check this other video ruclips.net/video/UZj-WPKyrLk/видео.html
@@diyextravaganza Thanks. I struggled for 45 minutes! In the end I fiddled with the coupling lever at the bottom of lens until I finally got it. So frustrating! It MUST work, but it doesn't! Then suddenly it does.

@@diyextravaganza I personally lubricated Helios 44-2 even in the cold -15 everything quickly and smoothly does not go dull. I compared циатим-201 with lithol and lithol is worse than the helicoid goes tighter I don't know if it's possible to buy it in your country
Hi, thanks for your videos! To lubricate the focus ring that spins a little hard, would it be enough to remove the outer black ring like you did in the first few minutes of the video? Or do I need to do more invasive work?
@@diyextravaganza Thank you for the answer: I often follow your videos and I really appreciate your technical opinion. I have the opportunity to buy this lens model, and the seller told me that the focus ring is a bit stiff since it hasn't been used for more than 15 years. I wonder if I can do a temporary intervention, having no experience
@@gfrancesc0a well if you have the opportunity to get this lens cheap, go for it. Then you can evaluate how stiff the focus really is, it is hard to tell without trying. In the long run, as suggested before, the best is to disassemble to replace old grease with new one. Anything else will be temporary. Cheers.
Yes. Try to fix the lens yourself, afterwards, it will be more than your lens, it will be the lens that you know everything about. Thanks for supporting the channel. Regards.
I have this lens and so it's been excellent to see how you serviced it. Thank you for sharing
Thanks to you for watching and commenting. Check my other videos as well.

@@arielgajda3335 has como yo, cómprate un bien jodido y lo arreglas. 😊
What solution did you use to clean the fungus?
I did it, with optical cleaner (hama htmc). It has worked for me so far.
Cool!
glad you appreciate!
hello🖐️, I recommend using cyatim 201 lubricant👍
Hello, interesting grease, thanks for the tip.
@@diyextravaganza I personally lubricated Helios 44-2 even in the cold -15 everything quickly and smoothly does not go dull.
I compared циатим-201 with lithol and lithol is worse than the helicoid goes tighter
I don't know if it's possible to buy it in your country
@@Иван-ъ2ы4б I use SKF LGLT2, great grease.
@@diyextravaganza а на морозе как себя видет? Дубеет?
@@Иван-ъ2ы4б I think is rated down to -20°C.

Hi, what you suggest is only a temporary solution. Best is to disassemble, remove old grease, clean, and then put new grease. Cheers.

Where did you get the friction cup for unscrewint the front retaining ring ? What size please ?
Hello, I added a link in the description of the video, for the size, I think it was the number 5.
Great video, do you perform lens repair services for clients?
Hello, I generally do it for myself, but it is indeed possible.
I was about to sale very ship my lens ....but i will try to clean up myself ...thank you Sr...also english is not my language so...sorry about that..
Yes. Try to fix the lens yourself, afterwards, it will be more than your lens, it will be the lens that you know everything about. Thanks for supporting the channel. Regards.
Could you not just put the elements in a ultrasonic cleaner?
What would you use as cleaning fluid? Best
