Same on my DFA50. The clamp is probably designed to stop the lens drifting under its own weight (or with the weight of a ring flash). You can always force it. This is similar to the FA50 and FA100 macros. But I have to say, the feel of the FA focus is a bit better than the DFAs, which isn't as smooth.
