Contrarly to the common sense, teutonic common sense says that all
mechanical parts need a CLA sometime...
Looks like a lubrication problem... changing the grease for fresh one
(by the way always ask for special cold weather grease...except if you
live in a hot desert...)

Objet : [OM] Re: OT Summricon question
Now we all know that Leica is perfect and so if it's stiff (no jokes
please) that's just how it's supposed to be. Just like the M8 is
supposed to be a bit IR sensitive.
But of course there's always the possibility that some feeble, limp-
wristed non-German would have difficulty overcoming the standard
teutonic settings without a pipe wrench so I'd try driving over the
river and pounding on the door of their repair facility with a gun-
butt for a quiet chat. Storm the citadel. It's not as if you have to
go to work now is it? :-)
Probably needs a slight adjustment and they shouldn't really let it
go out like that now should they?
