Does this lens have its own focus motor? Or, does it use the body's screw drive?

Nope! It uses the body scre drive for focusing, thus focusing can be a bit slow. I think only ssm lens have its own screw motor

Hi GaryPen, this particular lens does not have its own autofocus motor. Only lenses with SAM or SSM in the model number has built in auto focus motors. Thanks_Mitch

I am not sure. Auto focus works good,but manual focus grinds like sand in focus area. Still my favorite lens. Normally use auto focus unless can't get the shot I want

Yes it does, since this is a M4/3 lens. Typical for fisheye is the wide AF range in which reproduction is sharp. As others write, this lens is set manually, but that is all you will need. For almost every picture I take with it, it stays set to infinity at the distance ring. So building in an AF motor is pointless... Optical quality is great, the lens is sharp, small and lightweight. Great addition even for travelling!

I used it on a D300, has in body focus motor. I don't believe this lens has an internal focusing motor, which means the answer to your question is no. In researching the issue I couldn't find a straight answer from reviewers. This is not a NEWLY marketed lens. It has been out there awhile. That may mean it was marketed before internal motors in lenses were so common. The lens I had was faulty. It did not register to the meter and exposures were perpetually off consistently by two stops. It was returned. The selling vendor through Amazon turned out to be Adorama. You might check their website for a discussion on the lens function. I used it on a D300, has in body focus motor.

This lens does not have an autofocus motor and the more expensive one not only has a focus motor but has better optics as well. I have this lens and still takes good pictures.

It is manual focus. Actually, it seems to be a lens from the 1980's, but it is new, and the optics seem to be accepteble. Nevertheless, it takes some time to get used to using it with a digital SLR such as the K30 (which we own).

Nope, it doesn't feature any motor/engine to move the optics and do the autofocus, it's completely manual. But at 8mm focal distance, it doesn't matter, set the distance ring to infinity and the aperture ring to f11 and pretty much everything will be perfectly focused all the time.

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

You can manually adjust the aperture or allow the camera to set the f stop. As far as auto focus the lens does have a motor

Tamron released 3 versions of this lens. The first and best, did not have an internal focus motor and will only autofocus on cameras equipped with an internal focus motor. That means it will not focus on Nikons consumer DSLRs (D40, D3000 series, D5000 series). The second has the internal focus motor, but is very slow to focus. The third has a much improved focus motor, and is an excellent choice for a fast normal to mild length zoom. (42mm-112mm equivalent). As there are three versions, you should email the seller to find out exactly which one is for sale. That being said - optically all 3 are quite good.

I'm using this on a Olympus E-M10 which has it's own internal auto focus. When I turn that off manual focus works fine, I have no complaint about the ability to manual focus with this lens.

No but It does have vibration control so I purchased this lens when I was 65 & have never had a problem with out of focus pictures. This is a great travel lens also, went to Hawaii for 30 days & Alaska for 15 days & never took it off the camera. Hope this helps, go to your local camera shop & put it on your camera & take some pictures & you be the judge.

It is but it won't have auto focus. And u will have to set Aperture manually. But otherwise it's a great lense with fantastic shallow depth of field!

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.

i have the same package in black. the tamron 70-300 does have a motor, pretty quiet too. it's an AF-s lens. automatic. you don't have to manual focus it, of course you can if you please. great lens, got a lot of cool moon pictures with it.

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

Your question is really does this lens have the built-in focus motor and I do not know. I used mine on my D-70 and D-300, both of which did not require the extra motor capability so me saying it worked well on mine doesn't answer your real question. I will do a little research and add to this answer later.

This is a "Stepping Motor Lens". MICRO FOCUS is an automatic feature of this lens.
