I recently did a DIY CLA on my 50 Summicron but the only grease I had at the time was some CV grease. This has some interesting properties but apart from the viscosity it is perhaps not ideal for the focusing thread. Anyone know what the proper stuff is called and where I can get some in the UK (it's green). Also I would like to restock my supply of grub screws and fixing screws (my last supply came from an old camera I dismantled) - again anyone know of a supplier of these tiny screws in the UK?
