For the manual focus setting: is this focus by wire or physical? I mostly shoot with vintage full manual lenses and I'm used the more physical dynamic. Whenever I use my one focus by wire AF lens the different figuring feel drives me a little batty.
Asked by: Gibbs
PIDA257CBFBK has a double linear AF motor itself that affords quick, quiet, and smooth focusing performance, and this motor also offers snappy manual focus performance for fine-tuned control with an intuitive physical layout that incorporates a customizable focus hold button and a physical AF/MF. You can easily turn manual focus on the lens and use the ring to have a smooth manual focus performance.
