Can't comment on the mark-I lens, but the mark-II lens I had was silent in MF mode - no grinding or noise. I would expect the mark-I lens to behave in a similar fashion. Only once when the AF didn't completely disengage, turning the MF ring was very tough and it produced a grinding noise. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
