I don't know but by changing the settings to tracking, I shot from a moving bus in Israel with perfect results.The camera has an excellent auto focus too.

Usually yes. If you're in an auto mode there me be a delay for focus / light metering etc like most dslrs. However none of that in manual.

Don't quite understand the question but I have the Pentax version of this lens and it can operate in manual or auto focus. Just flip a switch.

Yes you can manually focus this lens. There are focus and zoom rings on the lens. You just need to set the camera to manual focus mode to do it.

Manual focus only. Also it has a fixed so you'll be spending time getting your shutter speed and ISO set up for proper exposures. All in all a fun lens.

Yes you can. Pressing the shutter button half way will focus and then press it rest of the way to take picture(s)

Thank you for asking. Yes you can, but you will need to manually focus as there is no electronics in this adapter.

Yes but you must use manual setting on your camera and you must manually focus

Absolutely, it has a full manual mode in addition to modes that allow 1 adjustment like aperture or shutter speed, and yes you can manually focus.

The camera has a manual program where you can set the values of aperture, ISO, and exposure so yes, I'd say you can. The larger the aperture, the greater blurr-out-effect you get on the objects out of focus. And yes, you can even choose the focus manually.

You can. But it'll take some time practicing so you don't get all shaky with the video. To manually focus I'd just go with hand held

Yes, it is a manual lens but its not hard to use at all. You have to manually set the focus (easy enough) but you can still use the cameras internal meter to control exposure. Also, read your cameras owners manual. There are some neat tools available to make using this lens a little easier.

yes you can- take auto focus off in settings and you can manually adjust to a point- the company I work for used it to make ID badge pictures though it is limited if you're trying to use it as a portable pocket digital camera.

Only in manual mode. I really haven't had a lot of use for, or success with this lens.

Yup, manual focus. Somewhat difficult to focus at f1.4 on my D7000 - dof very shallow, of course. I found it a little long on the cropped sensor. The Voightlander 58mm f1.4, while also manual focus and a little more expensive, is the perfect focal length for head-shots.

You can set to manual focus as such: 1. Set the focus selector switch to [MF], which displays on the screen. 2. Press the setting wheel to set [MF] to a selected state. 3. Rotate the setting wheel to display the focus range on the screen. Press the left/right arrow keys or rotate the setting wheel to focus on the subject (use the cursor button to make slight adjustments). That should do it. Enjoy yourself. This has proven to be an amazing camera, with possibilities I don't get even with the M!
