I had a 90 summicron I bought with this problem and I called the dealer =
and he said send it off and it was fixxed very quickly.  Sometimes this =
is just a spot where the grease has gotten hard,but you want to be sure =
this is the case and not a focusing helicoid going bad.

A lens I'm considering, otherwise mint, has a slight drag or sticking =
only
between about 5 ft and 3 ft. If the rest of the travel weren't so creamy
smooth you'd hardly notice. It's easy to overcome, and seems to =
disappear
with slightly more vigorous racking in and out. But then it will =
re-appear.
Is this a harbinger of some terrible costly repair, or a "not-to-worry"?
It's a late-model 35-M. I appreciate your aggregate wisdom! Thanks.
