at Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I just purchased a mint 200mm F2.8 APO lens for the Mamiya 645 body. Its in perfect cosmetic condition. Today I ran my first roll of test film through it and noticed one thing. When the lens is mounted on the 645 body it sags ever so slightly. The very tip of the lens sags a tiny tiny (tiny!) amount. Its probably just normal tolerences. The side affect of this sag is that it does change the stiffness of the focusing ring. Its nothing terrible but there is a noticable change in focusing effort. Is this normal? This lens does seem to have some very heavy elements at the front which would cause it to be so front heavy, I'm just concerned about the focus ring change once lens is supported by the lens mount alone. Any thoughts would be appreciatedfrom current owners of this lens. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
