Mine is silver - or more like grey, really. Not good? It's absolutely excellent! The clotch: You can push the focusrig back and forth to switch between AF and MF. About adjusting: Not really. In AF mood the ring doesn't work. You must choose AF or MF. But you can choose by using the ring only. Pulling it back means the camera is in MF mode - that's why they call it a clutch.

While I'm not ready to buy the FA* 24/2.0 right now, it may be worthwhile to consider adding to my personal road map, so I've some questions: Is the lens only available in silver, or can it be had in black as well? More important, how is it optically? I seem to recall some people saying that it wasn't very good - although I don't recall any specifics. Boz's site mentions an AF/MF clutch. What is that? Does that mean the lens can be used in auto focus mode and then adjusted manually without having to take the camera out of AF mode, like some of the new DA lenses? Thanks in advance for any and all comments. Shel -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
