Specifically aimed at users of this lens . . .
I have a newly serviced one (serial number 546**) for my Canon 7, and when screwing it on to the camera it turns very smoothly and steadily until almost the very last turn, when a noticeable degree of resistance is suddenly felt and the final turns needs a little more effort. (No force necessary). There are no problems using it whatsoever...viz. smooth focussing over the full distance range, and it behaves exactly the same on a Leica lllf that I just bought.
Both cameras are in full working order, by the way.
The only other lens I have for both cameras is a 50mm Jupiter 8 which (to coin a phrase) screws all the way in unhesitatingly.
Are other users of this lens familiar with this characteristic? Is it in fact normal ?
