Re: K15/3.5 question

[Alan Chan]

Maybe I am so used to those light weighted focus rings of AF lenses, I have 
to tell myself to apply a little more force when using the 15/3.5. 
Otherwise, it just refuses to rotate (maybe mine is a little heavier than 
normal?). I once used a friend's Rollei 6003. The 1st thing I noticed was 
how difficult it was to turn the focus ring. They felt like being jammed by 
some melting candy underneath. They certainly gave my fingers quite an 
exercise. <g>

BTW I bought my A15/3.5 new some years back and it's always behaved as you
describe. I bet the Leica 15/3.5 feels better mechanically I probably 
wouldn't
have bought one of those given that they  retail for a mere US$6k :-)
