The DA14 is the only one that I *don't* particularly care for the manual focus feel on ... It feels a little stiff compared to the others. The rest of this set have a very nice, light, precise feel without any slop ... I have no issues with the size of the ring. The real joy of this set is that all but the FA28 have Quickshift focusing, so you use the focusing ring primarily to fine tune what you've used the camera's AF system to zero in on.
