Which takumar lens are you talking about?
Are you trying it when mounted with an adaptor?
Because I have the same problem sometimes when mounting my SMC Takumar 1.4/50 on the Canon camera with the adaptor. It gets very hard to push the focusing ring to the infinite.
When handling the lens alone, or when mounted on a regular M42 camera, there is no problem.

Hmph ... interesting .... I will try.

The lens is exactly the 50mm 1.4 SMC Takumar

I suspect that the pressure of the adaptor makes the focusing ring too tight.
