Got this lens today because it's too cheap not to have. The hood doesn't seem to click when fully rotated, even though I put quite a lot of pressure. Is this normal?
Thanks,

Mine doesnt click either, it is one of the stranger hoods. Am always tempted to leave it behind.Got this lens today because it's too cheap not to have. The hood doesn't seem to click when fully rotated, even though I put quite a lot of pressure. Is this normal?

I bought this lens for low light shooting or when I just need a lightweight combo for snapshots. For serious jobs, I would use the 24-70. I didn't test the 50 yet, but according to reviews, it has a superlative center sharpness but the borders never really follow, even when stopped down. It also has some issues with coma and CA.Yep, no clicks...and a nasty propensity to drag on my hand. I agree...rarely used. But then this is rarely my go-to outdoor lens.

Yep, on APS it really looks like the 85mm, since the edges are cropped out. But put it on the 900, and the area of frame you've added is reportedly not too sharp.I bought this lens for low light shooting or when I just need a lightweight combo for snapshots.
