I have a little problem...
Just got a really MINT copy of a Pentax-F 50mm f1.7
Cosmetically is perfect, the lenses are perfect, no CA at 1.7, rly a good copy.
Auto focus is precise and accurate too.
PROBLEM:
Te focus ring is a bit stiff, especially near infinite. I can hear that the servo motor slows near infinite.
I have another copy of this lens, the focus ring is rly fluid and the servo motor runs faster and without to slow in any point.
I removed the filter ring support, cleaned the old grease (that was dirty, gray) and replaced with a liiittttttllleee bit of LITHIUM grease on the elicoid, but the stiffness do not change at all.
Any advices?
Thanxxxxxxxx
P.S. sry for my english.....
