A holiday (US) couple of lens questions:

I have a few years old 100-400mm 4.5-5.6 L IS.  S/N 212XXX.
I use it every week and it has served me quite well for the past 3 years.
Now the auto-focus seems to be searching a bit.  Not coarsely, It looks fine
throught the finder but just enough to lose the sharp images I was used to.
When I try to go to manual focus the ring is exceedingly stiff.  If I shut
the camera off, remove the lens and excercise the adjusting ring, it usually
loosens up after a few brisk turns and some coarse language.
The IS always works great, except when I forget to turn it on...
The lens has never been dropped or damaged.  It's very clean and well cared
for.
Any idea of what's happening and where do I go from here??  I dred having to
ship it off to who knows where for who knows how much $.
Happy Memorial Day to all Veterans, whereever!!
