[QUOTE="Mike150, post: 26122, member: 2287"] Just a note for consideration: I have the same two lenses you listed. I've found that during manual focus, turning the focus ring all the way to the stop is actually infinity and beyond (quoting Buzz Lightyear). You have to back off a little. I understand this is because the focus motor needs a little extra room to accomodate for overshoot during focusing. If not it would be banging into the stops at infinity. (motors can't start and stop instantly). I had to practice during the daytime to get a feel for how much to back off on the focus ring. [/QUOTE]
