["I just got one of the new ones and the focusing ring is not as smooth as
[the
[35 1.4, its not stiff, but not loose either, any other experience
[out there.
[I bought the lens via mail order, so i don't know how the other ones feel
[and need some feed back"

[I have exactly the same feel in my focusing ring. Basically, it feels
[flimsier than the one on the 35 1.4. I don't know why that is, but it just
[moves easier than the other in a way that feels not as well built. I tried
[others at the store and they all had the same feel, so don't worry that you
[got a bad one. Having said that, I have this lens on my .58 body all the
[time as my walking around lens. The optical quality is wonderful and the
[convenience of having three focal lengths in one lens is fantastic. I have
[grabbed shots that I otherwise would have missed because of this
[lens. These
[advantages FAR outweigh any differences in the feel of the focusing ring,
[IMHO.
[
[I'd love to post a shot or two taken with it if I could figure out how to
[post shots.
[
[Health and Safety to All,
