I've just picked up a secondhand Biogon from a dealer and have been getting some great results right from the moment I put it on the camera. However, when I turn the camera to the portrait orientation, the lens focus becomes stiff. It's fine for landscape orientation.

From googling around, it seems a few people have reported this issue in the past, but I've never seen whether anyone has solved it. I am wondering whether it's going to get worse, or just go away with use, or if there's something I could adjust myself.

I can send the lens back, but the results have been so good that I'm reluctant to do that.

Thanks for any advice.
