Title: Nikon 400mm f5.6 ED IF AIS lens focus
Post by: Dave Gurtcheff on August 25, 2012, 12:51:44 pm
Hi all:
I just purchased this manual focus used from a reputable dealer, so I can return it. The lens is a beauty-light weight small, etc. The focus ring helicoid turns freely---in fact TOO freely. It does not have that "feel" that gives one confidence it will not move accidently. Is this normal for this lens? If anyone has one can you please check it?
Thanks
