Originally posted by Sagitta There is a very solid click to get out of macro - it'll have a LOT of play before you hit that spot on the lens. When you twist the center ring from all the way from 70, it'll go a good fifth of a turn or so (the length of the green macro line), then stop. Keep twisting and it'll jump out of macro into normal and behave properly, provided its not broken. FWIW, you should still see the lens extending and retracting, even if its in macro. If its doing that its at least working in manual mode.
Its broken........ It comes out of macro , but it doesn't extend or contract the barrel/internals at all after that when zooming.It extends...but doesn't come back and has to be pushed in from finger pressure.
Im going to just ask for a refund. Usually stuff like this comes from some goober on ebay. The guy I bought it from has 100% good feedback and is cameras only. It probably just slipped by without being caught. Im sure he will do the right thing. 2000 transactions and 100% feedback is not easy to get unless you care and treat your customers right.
