Manual rangefinders, mostly, like the C3 and M4.What manufacturer makes the highest quality oil for doing camera maintenance and lubrication?
I always use Moebius oil, but to be honest for cameras good old 3 in 1 performs almost the same. The traditional one is to use Neats Foot oil which has been left for several years with lead pellets in it, the lead removes the last of the acidity which guarantees the oil will not thicken or go rancid ever, well not for a hundred years at least.
There's just one thing about oiling camera parts, if you can see the oil you have way too much. It really is a case of applying it, usually with a pointed cocktail stick, give it time to go where you want it, then wipe all the rest off.
Lighter fluid (benzine) is good for dissolving old oil that's turned into glue.
