Does the focus ring have a strong stop at both ends?

No it's in line with my Nikon primes, it has a noticeable stop but then continues to float beyond that point.

When you swivel the top piece it does stop at a position without a loud click. It does have set positions and when you point it straight it will stay there unless you turn it. It is nice and snug in the position and holds the light real stiff too.. Well worth what it cost!

Yes there is an auto/manual focus switch on the left side of the lens barrel.

Yes. It attactes to just behind the filter ring. I have used it with a polerizer filer and manual focus on more than once

It has been a while since I set the stops but as I recall: One end is determined by the position of the mounts. The other end you set with a button inside the control box. Really pretty simple once you understand to set the open position with the location of the mount on the gate.

Mine does the same thing. Lens seems to work just fine. Probably has a friction clutch which permits the focus ring to turn past the stops

Well, the smaller ring in front is the focus ring. The larger ring is manual zoom.BTW, this is a spectacular lens! I've taken some excellent photos with it, hand-held on full zoom

There are two magnifications I believe. You can reach two focus points by turning the know. So there are two positions you can turn to that will give you a clear image. Those two positions have different magnifications. Just turn the knob between its extremes and you'll see.

Yes. But you SHOULD deactivate the autofocus system on your camera body first (usually a lever just below the lens lock release) this will retract the slot driver that spins to focus the lens. If you want (NOT RECOMENDED) you could just over power the motor and spin the focus ring. I've done this at high stress moments and when the camera isn't cooperating. It's probably very bad for the lens' focus gears and the motor driver in the camera body though.

Yes if u call the focus function if u can manually focus yes u can just turn the central knob left or right adjust according to how far or close the object is. Good luck Rebecca, it is a rather good for the money

Yes, but it'll bow a little on the ends. It's hardly noticeable on wide shots if you're using a lighter camera and lens.

What Barry said. Ring spins infinitely however, so it's less than ideal for manual focus.

No Brian, there is no part that protrudes or extends, either with focusing or zooming. All movement is entirely internal, which I believe contributes to the weather sealing. It is a great lens and could not find a better alternative at this price point. I do not believe you will be disappointed in your choice.

I believe so, because it adds a gap between the lens and the sensor. For example I was photographing the moon the other night. This would usually mean just setting the focus to infinity and going for it. However, with the adapter on, the moon was in focus some way back from the infinity point on the focusing ring, indicating that infinity has moved further away, so to speak. Hope this helps. :-)

There is no stop pin or recoil lug on these rings but they do have a set screw that goes straight down through the bottom of the ring to the receiver.

No,but your auto focus ring isn't engaged . The big rubber ring at the very front of the lens must be pushed forward to engage it and pulled back for manual focusing ! I don't have my lens or camera handy but I'm pretty sure forward is engaged and back toward you is dis engaged ! It's a snappy little lens once engaged !

Yes, just remember that this scope has an adjustable objective so you will have to rotate the end till it comes into focus.
