I don’t recommend any lubricant what so ever. Even the smallest amount of Lithium Lubricant or Petroleum Jelly or WD-40 will wreck havoc on you camera. It may damage the mechanism of the camera or worse, find its way Onto the Mirror. Dust and dirt aside, why ruin a good camera. Furthermore, don’t attempt to file down the mount. Little tiny pieces of metal can cause havoc as well.
Elbow Grease is the best!
Happy Shooting!
I believe you're right. That's why I haven't applied anything. Thanks for your input.
