Holy cow. How the heck did it pick up the sticks? I put the focus directly on the rock. This lens is too hard to turn for manual focus (it feels too tight), so I have to use auto focus.
I think you are all correct. I had to use a low f stop because it was fairly dim out there. I know it's not the best picture, but that seems to be one of the ones where I just couldn't get a sharp image from it. Is there a way in Adobe Bridge or something to see where the focus was set? Surely that's saved somewhere in the metadata.
Something is wrong with this lens, it should not feel to tight to manually focus. I would return it and exchange for one that works correctly.
I missed that part. Something definitely wrong there!
Could indeed be why it’s mis-focusing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the focus decided by the dual-pixel auto focus, not by the lens itself? Once the camera sees that the focus area is sharp, then it allows you to take the photo doesn't it?
Also, doesn't the focus ring just move the electronic focus motor, so even if the ring itself is tight, it doesn't really mean there's something wrong with the stepping motor inside right?
I was thinking that it is very likely an indicator of something deeper wrong.
For instance if you had trouble walking, the problem might not be with your feet, but rather your head.
I do wish you the best of luck with this. It’s a very worthwhile lens to have around!
