My 77/1.8 is super smooth, nicely dampened (for an AF lens), I love the MF feel of this lens.
My 31/1.8 is smooth but feels dry'ish - MF feel is similar to other AF lenses I own (20/2.8, 40/2.8 Ltd, 50/1.4) Overall the differences in MF feel don't bother me. I do, however, wish the 31/1.8 and 77/1.8 had the on demand manual focus feature of the newer DA lenses. -Patrick On 12/30/05, Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi. > > For those of you with the 77/1.8 and also either the 31/1.8 or the 43/1.9, > could you please describe the focus feel of the 77/1.8 as compared with the > either or both of the others. > > I ask because I used to have the 43/1.9, and I used to grumble about a > "whirring" sort of manual focus feel to that lens design, yet I do not feel > that annoyance with the 77/1.8 at all.
