Hello guys, I've recently acquired what appears to be an absolutely mint Bigma for Minolta mount which I intend to use with my Sony A7.........problem is, if I try to manually focus the ring is very stiff as if the lens' weight is holding the ring from turning smoothly.....if I slightly lift the lens a little with the other hand the ring spins much easier- the rear also has a little wobble to it..........what do you guys think?
I purchased it from a woman who met me at a Barnes & Nobles and as soon as I paid her- she basically left the store in a hurry............starting to think the lens may have been dropped while in the protective case and thus why it looks 100% mint but has a wobbly rear (where tripod collar is).....does anyone else have an issue with their Bigma when manually focusing or did I just get ripped off?
Sad- was going to photograph my daughter's baptism with the lens.
Anyway it is what it is.......let me know what you guys think about this Bigma.
