A large part, I think most, of the focusing resistance in our lenses has to
do with the helicoid grease which is there to give that resistance. Maybe
your grease has dried out some, or the lens has been serviced with a
replacement grease of too high a viscosity. Or maybe its just too dang cold
where you are trying to take pictures!
The focusing ring on my 50/2 actually turns rather easily.
