It seems to get caught up on the first part, or if I go from nothing to all the way down. It seems much worse if I go from nothing to all the way down, but that could be because when I do that I'm usually trying to catch a quick shot. Once it's focused, the second half of the press is almost instant I believe (I'm trying to replicate the issue but of course it only does it some of the time!) @Reid ~ I have a Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (kit lens) and a Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6 | |
