The focus ring is tight and rather hard to move. |
Are you sure that this is true for every copy? Perhaps that was just an issue with your lens... |
Exactly, I've actually used one recently and its focus was butter smooth  |

The price reflects more the rarity. I wonder how many where made? |
Actually I have no idea. However, the serial numbers are all quite in the same range from what I've seen up to now. I think your "new" lens is just apprx. 300 before mine. |
378 to be exact

Nice find, I have only the lens, nice little unit, mine needs some service work, it's not reaching infinity, I should try other adapters to confirm, and the aperture blades are not retracting fully, as seen in the video, I wasn't sure if that was normal with this lens, so thanks for posting the video.

I scored a Topcor 9cm 3.5 ltm today as well!  |
This one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tokyo-Kogaku-Topcor-9cm-f3-5-blk-chr-lens-Leica-L39-rangefinder-coupled-RARE-/171974157286
I was planning to buy it, but I miscalculated when the auction ended and missed it, so it went cheaper than it could have... Congrats, hope you enjoy it.

I hope you get it back in shape, it looks like a lovely juwelry, and I wonder how it performs.
