Nikkor lens question …?
I just got my new Nikkor AF-S DX 18-135 mm lens, today, but had a question. When focusing manually, I can go beyond the mark ring. For example, if I go all the way to infinity, you can still turn the father of the ring to the left, but it feels sturdy and strange. Is this normal? PS Following the last turn the focus ring does not change at all, but the ring still turns just does not feel as smooth.
Yes .. Many of the new AF Nikkor lenses have built in slip clutch now and this turn normal focus ring is -. Tucson Bob
