Even if you had the feature, not all manual focus lenses are linear throughout the focal range. I like the default mode as when you turn slowly it feels linear yet when you want to make a big change and turn quickly going to the other end of the range is fast. I guess this is like mouse acceleration, some like it and some don't

Thanks Morris, I might give the 35mm f2 a chance and see how I get on with it in manual mode. Of course I can use it in AF mode, but for me the X series cameras were meant to be used in full manual mode, to slow down and to think about each photo I take. 😉

I agree they are very good for that yet they can also allow for very fast work.
