It seems like this lens doesn't give any resistance when the auto focus switch is on does that mean this lens let's you override the focus with out damaging auto focus motor...

No, because nothing is happening other than the focus ring is going round. The actual focus isnt changing Dave.

The actual focus isnt changing and so when switched to MF - and half-pressing the shutter - this allows for quasi-FTM, is that right?

No, switching to MF gives you full MF. Dave.

Slr cameras are big for a reason. This lens was a stupid introduction by canon. They could have really put the $$$$$ to a better more flexible lens than dropping10mm from a 50mm. Sounds like you have some form of personal investment in this discussion. Why get so upset about other people having a different view than you? 5DMk2 + BG-E6 | 40D + BG-E2N | 350D + BG-E3 + RC-1 | Elan 7E | Minolta Dimage 7U | (Gear thread)

All these people getting 1.4 lens and going oh ah...1.4 and then they dont use it there??????????? Like ferrari owners that only stay in first gear and lap the main streets. the car is meant to run top speed like a 1.4 lens is meant to be used at 1.4 But a f/1.4 lens often can more than just f/1.4. 5DMk2 + BG-E6 | 40D + BG-E2N | 350D + BG-E3 + RC-1 | Elan 7E | Minolta Dimage 7U | (Gear thread)

That comment is about using AF, with manual override and not switching the lens to MF, not using MF on its own. wow - I had a 'duh' moment - in my original question I wrote MF instead of AF at the beginning...

So I just use my iPhone to take pics. The 40 is a game changer for me because I will be far more apt to take my camera. And I've always felt if I am going to take my camera then I am going to take a good lens... now I can do that, shoot sharp with a flexible focal length, even reasobably fast. All with minimal size weight. This lens is a home run.

Ah right, in that case yes, in AF mode half pressing the shutter button will allow manual override and you can rotate the focus ring. Dave.
