I recently received my second one of these, and it has a problem that the first one does not have.
The focusing mechanism is so tight and hard to turn that it just about takes the skin off my fingers to adjust the focus a little bit. It is very annoying, and makes the focusing almost unusable.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to fix it?
I tried to remove the subassembly containing the lens and the lens holder and the inner part of the focusing threads, so that I could examine both sets of threads. However, when I twisted the lens holder all the way out it hits a hard "stop", and I cannot turn it any further or remove it.
