    I have that same 35-70 zoom lens. I use it lot. It's very versatile

    Hi Dan. I was interested to see you replace the seals in the body with what looked like glue and twine. I've used self adhesive foam in the past and that looks like a much better idea. What sort of glue and what twine did you use?

    It's called "all purpose glue". It's not contact cement just basic glue. And it's yarn. Black yarn. German manufacturers used that instead of foam and it's still there 50 years later.

    I find it very irresponsible squirting a bunch of oil into the camera and calling it a "fix". It only takes a few extra steps to take out the mirrorbox and apply the tiniest amount of oil to get rid of the squeak.

    I totally agree. That's why my method only uses a microscopic amount of oil located on the right part. I have a full video about it.
