I've been having a problem lately with my Bessa R2A and I wonder if anyone has any ideas. I cannot seem to find anything on the net which describes this issue. Basically, when I focus close to infinity, the roller cam arm gets stuck. Thereafter, if I attempt to focus closer, the rangefinder will not move. I can get it to unstick by quickly and somewhat forcefully focusing to infinity, which will unstick the cam. This is a real pain when using my summicron rigid as it has an infinity lock. All of this works the same if I take the lens off and just push on the roller cam. The oddest part about it is that it almost seems like the sticking is natural---feels like pressing on the top of a retracting ball point pen. Any ideas?
