This is certainly true of a parts SF1 that I have disassembled right now.
the resistor you talk of is etched onto a circuit board at the top of the
lens mount behind the ring. It's a bit like an etched version of the old
rheostats we used to use in high school Physics, and I would bet is a
candidate for wear, as wells dirt and corrosion (it's not really sealed)....
Hmmm, you didn't have the camera somewhere damp or dirty, or get any
slightly salt water (like sea water) on it at some point did you?
