[QUOTE="Rink, post: 810427, member: 52617"] Good afternoon, everyone. I’m new on this forum, glad to be here, and I have a question about a lens. I have a Nikon D5500 with a couple lenses. One is the AF-P 70-300mm which has a focus ring that turns continuously and never stops. I understand that there is a similar lens that has a focus ring that does have stops. I’ve read a bit about the differences in these focus rings, but I wouldn’t call myself knowledgeable on the subject. I have trouble acquiring infinity focus manually with this lens (at night). I’m considering selling it and purchasing the model with focus ring stops if that might make it easier to find infinity focus. And I’m wondering if this continuous focus ring provides some other offsetting advantage for me compared to a focus ring with stops. I’ve been into photography for many years, but I’m an amateur and photography is strictly a hobby for me. So I try to keep my expenses (and complication) as low as possible. I’d appreciate any advice on this situation from more experienced folk. I hope this is an appropriate post and on the appropriate forum. If not, someone just please let me know. Thx, rink. [/QUOTE]
