Subject: [Leica] DR Summicron will not focus

Hi All, 

Help! My DR Summicron has been in storage for a year and now I can't get the 
focusing ring to move.  I assume the lubricants just dried out. It was 
pretty stiff the last time I used it.  So what is the solution?  Do I ship 
it out for cleaning?  Any suggestions who can do it?  Or do I dare use a 
drop of penetrating oil on the focusing helix?  Or silicon spray?
