Gusy, i have a quick question. i was trying to take some shots of a golf club a few nights ago. When I press the shutter half way down, the focus would go in/out -in/ out--etc... Is this becouase the subject was black and it could not focus or is something wrong w/ the lens?

thanks

Either not enough light to focus or you are below the minimum focus distance.

The focus point needs some contrast to be able to do its job. So yes, if you were aiming the focus point at a spot that is totally black, it will not be able to do it. This isn't an issue with the lens in particular.

"A Hagrid" is a man, or more accurately a half-man, half-giant from the Harry Potter series. :)

I think there is something about that combination that just says its going to be a family guy sketch at some point in the future.
