I'm a new M6 user, and have a question about a my 50 mm summicron lens. Sorry about asking it in this section, but the lens section hasn't had much activity.
I recently got a 50 mm f/2 lens(#3908XXX). It's a great lens optically, but I have been having a problem lately with the focusing ring. It feels right on the infinity side, but when I try focusing from 5 feet down to 2.5 feet the ring is noticably harder to turn and seems to drag and/or stick a bit. The lens focusing was fine when I first got it, and I've really taken care of it.
This lens is still under warranty. I'm probably going to wind up sending it to Leica for inspection, but I'd like to ask if anyone has an idea of what the cause might be. Has anyone in the forum ever had a problem with a lens sticking due to heat & humidity?
