frederic_sourgen1 Posted December 29, 1998 Share Posted December 29, 1998 Dear all, I'm the happy owner of a 20/2.8 AF Nikon lens, great optics! However, I'm focusing exclusively in manual mode. I've noticed that the focusing ring gets harder to move when you reach closer distances (under 0.4m). Should I worry about this? Thanks and happy new year! Fred.

alan_gibson Posted December 29, 1998 Share Posted December 29, 1998 I have one of these, and it doesn't do that, the focusing is very even, all the way down. It sounds as if your lens could use a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_stevens Posted December 30, 1998 Share Posted December 30, 1998 Mine also operates very smoothly. If you have a warenty for it, I would send it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_townsend Posted January 8, 1999 Share Posted January 8, 1999 I had a similar problem. It transpired that a tiny screw had come loose internally and was causing the progressive tightening towards one end of the focus range. I too suggest you get it serviced :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
