Hallo, I have just testet the DA 16-45 on the MZ-S. The Quick Focus Shift does not work. So it neats a clutch in the camera (which only the *istD has) and a signal from the lens.
Yes, the new D-FAs are looking very promising, small and fully compatible. regards Rüdiger -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sylwester Pietrzyk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Sonntag, 8.
