I just bought a type 3 35mm elmarit-r for my Sl recently for a great price. However, the focusing is VERY stiff. I'm considering opening it up and relubing everything in order to make the focusing nice and silky. I've done it with my 50mm canon lense with great results. However I don't know how complex the lens is (being fully manual, it can't be that complex right?), should I open it up and relube it? Amywhere I can get diagrams for this lens and repair views for free?
