Stve,
I believe the operation of this lens is similar to that of the FA200/4
ED.  To engage the limiter function, place the limiting switch on the
lens to "full" and adjust the focus to the extreme to which you would
like to bias focusing, i.e., infinity for the "normal" stuff, or max
close focus for the macro work, then switch the switch back to "limit."

That should work every time and really cut down on the hunting.

PS - With the MZ-S, I have fould you need to do this with the body
turned on.

Subject: Focus range Limiter on the FA 100 2.8 Macro


I just got this lens.  I plan to use it for macro work (duh) and as a
"instead of a 135mm" telephoto.  (The feel of the lens is wonderful by
the way.  What a tank!  It balances so well on the MZ-S with the Grip) 
I'm having a little trouble getting used to the range limiter, however. 
I want to us mostly MF for macro work but AF for "normal distances".  I
can't quite get the hang of the limiter, and the lens seems to always
hunt through the whole focus range, which is huge.  Any suggestions from
the Cognoscenti?
