It was dropped a short distance - all worked fine but the focus was stiff as you approached infinity. I found that loosening the four Phillips head screws at the base just a tad bit and re tightening them freed up the bind in the focus. Try this before sending it out to some like Sherry Krauter.

I had a lens stolen out of my office at work. It was recovered later, but was banged up a bit. It looks like it was dropped several times on pavement. The aperture seems to be functioning fine, but the focus is stiff. Who can work on something like this? I think it will need more than just oiling the helical.
