Does this lens have a manual clutch? Which lenses offer a manual clutch ?
Asked by: Lou
The lens has a manual focus clutch which can be used when in Manual mode or when Manual focus or one of the AutoFocus + Manual modes is selected. Because it is a prime lens there is no need for a manual zoom clutch.
