rdavis Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 <p>I just bought a nice looking copy of 12-40 lens off ebay. My question is: when looking at the lens and zooming<br> down, the barrel seems to bottom out at around 16mm then creeps forward a bit when I get to 12mm. Is this a normal function? Looking thru the lens all seems fine. Just seems a little odd to me. Just getting to try some shots tomorrow with the lens. any help will be appreciated. Thanks</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carroll4 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 <p>That's normal - my 12-40 "bottoms out" around 16mm. some quirk of the optical workings that I won't pretend to understand. Good lens, though.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famico Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 <p>Yes, it's normal - mine does the same.</p> <p>I should add that if your copy is a sharp as mine, you are going to love that lens/</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
