I dropped a 50mm summi and bent the helical focusing gear. A "repairman" worked on it and advised me to rack the focus back and forth while I was watching t.v. to loosen the focusing. I did this for about two weeks and it certainly did help the stiffness. It never got close to the silky smooth focus I loved with this lens. I finally sent the lens to Sherry Krauter [ _krauter@warwick.net_ (mailto:krauter@warwick.net) ] and she replaced the gear and worked some magic to bring the lens back to the buttery smooth focus. While it took some time to coax the parts from Mother Leica it was worth the wait. Bob [RPSawin] __________________ ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
