I could be wrong, but I think it is time that degrades the quality of the grease being used in the lens. It doesn't matter whether the lens has or hasn't been used the last 15 years or so. My K15/3.5 suffered from very stiff focus ring too, and it is silky smooth after relube. Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
