I let my friend borrow the camera with the lens mounted to the camera, but with the camera off. She then began to turn the focusing ring. Would this damage the camera/lens in any way, even if the camera was switched off at the time? When I turned the ring (still mounted) after her to make sure it was okay, it turned but as if it had 'brakes on', ie it was harder to turn it than with it being off of the camera. Have I caused any damage? Many thanks in advance.Tom</blockquote>
