The RF arm movement is sticky.

For instance, if I rack the lens back to infinity and then out to the 
close focus distance, the arm sticks in, and then as the lens cam moves 
out, the arm doesn't "follow" the cam, and then of course, the camera 
doesn't show focus properly.

And if I move the lever arm with my finger, the movement feels very 
gritty. 

It's going back to Leica NJ on Monday.    I'm not happy with it.
