Operation is smooth as silk with little drag.

Thanks. May I ask what the manual focusing is like wide open at around 50mm and say, 1.5m from your subject? The reason I ask is that I have recently acquired a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 (which as I've just found out only has a 92º focus throw, so 15º less than the 24-70 II) and nailing focus with such a short throw with manual focus is quite a challenge. More of a challenge than I hoped it would be.

Cheers,

Mark.
