Originally posted by vincechu thanks everyone, though I guess I should b too fussy as the lens is a few decades old ;-)
A hard focus ring is tougher to deal with than my aperture ring problem, because I'll either use it wide open for the funky bokeh, or at F8 for best IQ anyway. But tight focusing is actually a GOOD thing, so you're going to learn the place this lens should have in your arsenal as time goes by;

Lenses are like having kids:
They're never all perfect, but they're yours and you love them anyway.
