Well I was pretty rushed but was able to take the new lens out for a few laps this weekend and to be honest I was disappointed.
Things looked great in the LCD but when I got home and downloaded them I was shocked at how many that I thought were clean shots, were blurry ------ and then I noticed the small focus ring on the lens barrel! DOH!
I assumed that in auto focus the lens was doing all the work. Is that small ring that is closest to the camera body supposed to like a fine tuning dioptler (sic) or something?
I was happy with some of the low light shots but wish I would have known about the focus ring. On my other lens when thye are in auto that small ring does not move but on this lens it rotates 180 degrees and fine tunes the focus -- or is the lens defective?
This shot was from the opposite side of the track and cropped down. There was enough light for the capture but the focus was not as crisp as some shots.
