Out of my moderate arsenal of lenses, both my 28/2.8 and 50/1.4 exhibit
this "rough coupling", and maybe my 85/1.8 to a lesser extent as
well. What you are probably feeling is the contacts rubbing against each
other because the interface between the lens and the body is so tight. I
wouldn't worry about it.
With re: to the focus ring, to compare two relatively similar lenses, the
50/1.4 does indeed have a focus ring with less resistance than the
85/1.8. Overall, the 50/1.4 subjectively "feels" cheaper than the 85/1.8.
