I was manually focusing my lens and it seems like it slips on the distance scale. I twist the focus ring and it stops while I am twisting. No it didnt hit minimum or ifinity.

It probably doesnt affect my AF at all but is that anything to worry about!?

What lens?

So when you turn the focus ring does the scale move at all?

Can you see the focus change in the veiwfinder?

It happens on my 100 macro and 70-200 f4is

well it happens when I hold it vertically so it might not be a problem. I think I noticed it first with my macro probably cause I was shooting down
