  • Very nice
What can I say it works.
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024 by James Dell

  • It's not thin, it's thick
The other review saying this is too thin is wrong, Helimax XP is actually a little thicker than other helicoid greases such as Japan Hobby Tool Grease #10. After I disassembled, cleaned, and greased my lens with Helimax XP, it felt a little stiffer. It feels good and avoids the oil separation issues that #10 grease has. ... show more

  • Great product.

  • Specified for Nikon repair
Last year I purchased a super wide angle lens from Japan. Unfortunately the aperture was stuck closed. The seller refunded me and let me keep the lens so I decided to try fixing it. With some 99% alcohol I was By able to clean the aperture. (Lubricant wicked onto blades) Being 30 years old, the lens mechanism desperately needed lubrication. This is the stuff! It doesn’t migrate. It doesn’t give off vapors that could coat the interior surfaces of your lens. It doesn’t attack plastic. The viscosity is correct for auto focus lenses. Yes it’s expensive but it’s used in lenses that cost thousands of dollars. I recommend this product. I am not associated with this product or any other product. I purchased this product ... show more

  • Great lubricant for fine moving parts, such as camera lens internals
I originally purchased this stuff for an old camera lens that I had bought and was cleaning and restoring. I used it to replace the old mold-riddled stuff, pretty much any part of it that moved. I must say, this stuff works great, as it provides a nice, smooth action, and it lasts quite a while. It comes in a rather small tub, but trust me, a little will go a long way. It is a creamy gel-like substance, kind of like a white toothpaste. It spreads onto your part easily with either a toothpick, swab, or whatever your tool of choice is. I've ended up using this stuff on other lenses since then, and I am satisfied with the results. ... show more

  • Adequate for the Task
I am not sure that I am the best guy to review this product as I have only worked on a few lenses so far. Plus I don't have a lot of experience to see how it holds up over time which in my mind is the real test of any helicoid grease. It seems to do the job well, but I was expecting a higher viscosity product as it looks to my eyes that the heat of the summer sun might make this product melt and run into the barrel. But that is only speculation on my part. I am sure that the folks manufacturing helicoid grease know a lot more than me. So I will keep using it and see what happens over time. ... show more

  • Works very well.
Each lens manufactory uses different greases for their lenses helical thread, it is no such thing like universal helicoid grease does exist. You have to know requirements of you lens, so if you use as universal be prepared that on some it will be loose, and on others tight. But on some it works just great! ... show more
