Corpse Focus Wheel: SLR Camera Lenses

Glad to have this lens. I'll be shooting a 30 second food video in a few days and received this lens today. I treated the Revain driver who dropped him off like he was a real Santa. The only issue I have with this lens is that the focus wheel is stiff as a corpse. I'll be moving my C100 with my new 135mm lens, but I'm afraid I'll have a hard time moving the camera with my right hand and focusing with my left. I have Rokinon 24, 35, 50 and 85. Turning the focus dial on these lenses is easily accomplished by a kid, but at 135 it takes some Super Saiyah strength. I'm a 20 year veteran and I've never had to work so hard on focus. And if you're trying to be fluid and focused. I think I'll look like an armor on set. This is the only downside. Oh, and all the lens hoods on all my Rokinon lenses suck, but I use a Matbox so I'm not worried about that.
