I was testing the lens on distances and found a problem - when I have the lens zoomed all the way to 200mm the focus will stop at infinity, but nothing beyond about 10-15 feet is in focus...I have to back off the zoom to 180 or 150mm (estimate) for get sharp focus. Is this just a quirk of the animal? Anyone else have similar problems ever?
