does this lens have the option of automatic zoom and focus?

The lens will work with your camera's autofocus, but the zoom is controlled manually.

I found it to be very slow focusing at distances of less than 10 feet, since the depth of field is so wide and the camera (Canon T3i) gets confused. Manual focus works better in those situations, and is quickly changed with the forward/reverse clutch of the focusing ring itself. Tamron lenses have a very tiny focus mode switch to hunt for.

The lense has auto as well as manual Focus. It has only manual zoom with very limited range as the specification says.

Yes, this lens does have the option for auto focusing. But I clearly find that manual focusing is the better of the two choices. Unlike some lens, this option to change from manual to auto focusing is done by sliding the forward most ring, the one closest to the len's end back and forth. No switch. There is no automatic zoom option. You have to rotate the ring closest to the camera body to zoom in and out. I guess that is why I prefer the manual focusing. But either way, I am very happy with the photos I have taken with this lens. Hope this helps

Yes it does. Open the camera app and click on the gear in the lower left. Scroll down to Focus mode and you can select either Auto focus or Macro.

No manual focus like a camera lens. However, the auto focus does well. The clarity is also good out around maybe 10-15 feet from the camera.

No it does not. You will need to set your camera to Aperture priority and then set the f/stop on the lens. Nor will it autofocus a lens. This is best used if you have an older fixed f/stop lens or are using a older macro lens.

No, zoom or adjustable lens. It does have the five light setting which work pretty good for the price

Yes, it does auto-focus. I now use it on a micro four-thirds camera which requires that I use an adaptor. This slows the auto-focus.

Yes, as are all lenses with a fixed focal length. (It doesn't zoom.) I love mine and use it all the time because of the very short focal distance.

No, not in auto-mode. But you can fine tune the focus when you switch to manual focus on the lens, and you leave the camera set for auto focus.This is different than other Pentax lenses that don't have the switch on the lens, this may be due to the fact that this lens was built by Tamron. I don't find this to be a big deal though, and enjoy the lens a lot!

It is manual focus. You can beat the price. The quality is good and it is a super-big zoom lens.
