[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 73771, member: 9556"] Hi All, I got delivery of the 35mm 1.8G today & wanted to clarify a couple of things.. got the delivery just before i was leaving home for work so didn't get too much time to play around.. Firstly, fixing the lens on the camera seems to be a bit 'tight' After unscrewing the 18-55, i was fixing this one & it seemed like i needed to apply some force turning it in place. This did not happen wen i first got the 70-300 & it never happens anytime wen am removing-installing any other lens any time. While focusing there is some kinda noise... like a low screeching/scratching noise. i don't write it as a 'whirr' cos it definitely not that. it's difficult to explain how a sound sounds :) next, while taking photos in real low light, like say inside a curtained room at early dawn, the camera allows me to take photos only when the A/M-M switch is on the M position. Tried clicking a few pics of my wife to show off my new lens & the cam wouldn't click in the A/M mode even at 1.8 and with a reasonable long shutter speed. but it would click at the same settings with the switch on A/M mode. on another note, is the A/M switch really Auto which allows manual focusing as well or just Auto? i ask cos i've read a couple of folks saying that it's a 'typo' by Nikon and it should actually just be A-M instead of A/M-M thanks!
