If you move the rubber focusing grip, the internal components will be exposed. This lens is absolutely not weather proof, so be careful. of course, given a choice between one of these and the L, with the assumption that both have been submerged for 24h in water, i know which one i'd pick. flickr

Postman should bring mine tomorrow or Monday. I'm still a bit worried at having to rely on liveview with 5D3. So far I find I hate shooting via the LCD, and the shot-lag is ginormous. Hopefully a few outings will get me used to it....I hope. Don't worry about it, you won't have a problem focusing with the viewfinder. Just takes a bit pf practice. Mark J.

(in summary use electrical tape after removing the ball bearing and steel spring so that the aperture ring retains tension.) https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1214774 also, the build quality is nowhere near canon's L glass.

Nighthawk93 Member 97 posts Joined Oct 2010 More info | I hear a lot questions about focusing with this lense without any AF, get the confirmation chip properly put, you will focus SO easily with it. On my 5D Mark II, confirmation beep and light works like a charm. Canon EOS 5D Mark II / Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical / Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art / Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

I tried it on my 5dc and the viewfinder focus is tough even with an ee-s screen. I find you just can't see the focus well enough to pinpoint accurately on eyes and whatnot with any sort of consistency.
