[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 15317, member: 654"] Also the 50mm D f/1.8 was designed to be auto focused by the camera body focusing drive. It does have a manual focusing ring but the focus range of the ring is not even a half turn. That means the in focus spot on the ring is very small and can be difficult to hit in good light and as PavementPilot says especially difficult in low light. Hand holding the camera with this lens and trying to keep focus on a moving subject will be very difficult in good light and almost impossible in low light. The manual focus works fine if you are tripod mounted and shooting static subjects in good light. [/QUOTE]
