You missed the clutch. It is incorporated into the focus ring. Push the focus ring forward 1/8th inch and the clutch disengages, you can see the words "Auto Focus" on the lens barrel, and the focus ring does nothing to focus the lens. Pull it back towards the camera by 1/8 th inch and you can change the focus manually. Regards, Bob S.
