I have 77 in silver variety. Indeed it focuses ever so slower than, say 43 Ltd or 31 Ltd. But I think it is natural. The longer focal lengths usually have longer throw of the focusing ring... I mean that radial distance that has to be passed in order to rotate the lens from infinity to its closest range. I generally noticed that my *istD is more often "unsure" of its focusing position with 77 than with other limited lenses. It would get to focus and then shift slightly few times until settling down and proudly displaying that in-focus sign. This really does not concern me. For all I care, I would even switch to manual focus and work based on confirmation lights... If you want, we can exchange your black one for my silver one ;-)... Perhaps it will put your mind at ease ;-). -- Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
