[LRflex] Re: 75-200

Miha, I just bought a used Leica Vario Elmarit zoom F4 80-200mm and it's extremely smooth through the full range.

It is one of the Minolta designed Leica zoom lenses made in Japan. Zooming should be as smooth as any Minolta zoom lenses.

Hi Flexers,

I just got my first "leica" zoom - a vario-elmar 4.5/75-200mm.
It looks mint, but the zooming (particularly from 75-200) is extremely stiff. Is this something I should expect or not? In any case it's a far cray from my nikkor 4/80-200 AIS. 

I'm looking for some user experience on the issue.

Thank you,
Miha
