Comparing with other M lens in my collection the focusing ring on this one feels very tight, like a fluid pan head set to high resistance. Could aged lubricant or lubricant+dirt be the cause ? What is the best thing to do about this ? On the barrel there don't seem to be any sign of it having received a major impact so as to deform the focusing ring. The serial n. of this lens is 3396XXX, supposedly made around 1986. Previously a fellow LUGer had kindly told me that this is the 4th version. Do all lens in this category have tough fousing rings? Thank you in advance. Ed. Lo - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
