Does anyone else have the 20/1.8?
Optically it seems like a sweet piece of glass. Unfortunately while I
needed it last weekend, it didn't show up until Monday and I haven't had
a lot of time to play with it.
The first thing that I noticed was that in manual focus, focusing it
felt like it was turning a motor.
It also turns out that if the lens is in manual focus, and the camera is
in auto focus, autofocus still works, it's just that the focus ring won't
turn when the camera focuses.
Looking on the mount, when I manually focus, the drive gear for the
autofocus will turn.
The big problem is that this makes the lens unpleasant to manually focus,
though it works fine, it feels bad. Is this the way it's supposed to
work? Or do I have a bad copy of the lens?
Looks like it has no quick-shift focus device (or the like). You need to set
the camera to MF then.
