Originally posted by Genshu Don't know, mine feels fine. General feeling is that too stiff is better then too loose. Need to take some more shots but when manual focusing it really seemed that when focus is on infinity the shot is blurry, and that the actual infinity focus is a little backed off from turning the ring all the way. Anyone ever experience this?
I have also noticed the infinity focus is a hair before the limit... based on a morning worth of random shots in my backyard....
The stiffness of the zoom ring is not a great concern of mine, and I understand the preference for too tight to to loose, I was just surprised the first couple times turning it.... I think I am just paranoid about the QC of this particular lens having spent months considering it reading all the comments about problems so I may be looking for problems.....
