Basically, it feels [flimsier than the one on the 35 1.4. I don't know why that is, but it just [moves easier than the other in a way that feels not as well built. I tried [others at the store and they all had the same feel, so don't worry that you [got a bad one. Having said that, I have this lens on my .58 body all the [time as my walking around lens. The optical quality is wonderful and the [convenience of having three focal lengths in one lens is fantastic. I have [grabbed shots that I otherwise would have missed because of this [lens. These [advantages FAR outweigh any differences in the feel of the focusing ring, [IMHO. [ [I'd love to post a shot or two taken with it if I could figure out how to [post shots.
