I'm testing a new lens and have found that going to the negative extreme (-20) has very little affect from 0 while the other extreme (+20) has a great impact. Is this common? I should note that the lens seems just about perfect at 0 so it's not a problem. I just found it odd that one end of the scale shows next to no change from neutral.

Cheers

Makes no sense to me. If I have a lens that is perfect at zero, any move from there plus or minus changes the focus plane.

Cheers

Is it at or near it's minimum focusing distance? The - action will 'pull' the point of focus towards you and you may not notice it so much??

I was at 7.63m and MFD is 4.5m so it was relatively close. I should note this is a 500 f/4.
