I didn't mention it was new in a box when I bought it, probably about
15years after it had been discontinued. The only other M lens I got new
in a box was the 50 f1.7 with my first MX. The feel was similar but
both have been getting silkier as I've been using them. The 50 has a
huge head start however...

Funny how people buy old beat up lenses that who knows what their
history is and figure all of them are junk based upon that experience.
Even worse when it has an obvious minor problem that almost any tech
could fix for little money.
RULE: almost every piece of photographic gear ought to have a CLA done
every 5 years. Sitting in the sock drawer is almost worse than being
used heavily, so it does not matter how pretty it looks. On the other
hand there are some techs out there that you would be better off
tossing your camera off a ten story building than having them work on
it. Isn't life interesting?

It's about a 8/10 revolution from closest focus to infinity, and it
is one of the stiffest focusing rings on any lens I own.
Time to relube the lens. Believe me, it works.
