No - Focus doesn't need to be auto; it must NOT be full manual though for the MACRO to work. |
I'm still not clear on exactly how one has to shoot with this lens onboard. Obviously the cam has to have the ring forward in AF/MF mode, macro enabled and zoom at full wide but does Auto focus have to be switched on as well and if it does have to be in full auto AF does it hunt at all?
Just read Piotr's post, thanks for clearing that up! |

This is how I use mine without any issues. All the inside shots of the helicopter, were shot with this lens. @
http://exposureroom.com/members/stev...63f772ec0226e/ Pull the focus ring forward towards the lens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! switch to macro and you WILL be able to focus as long as the zoom is set to wide. BUT the focus ring must be pulled forward. Their is no focus issues with this lens as previously reported. |
Thanks for the help and Steve thanks for the message. I am shooting every day through Monday but will try all the options in detail on Tuesday and post some still of my results.

All I am saying is that when it comes to things being out of focus there are not that many factors to consider... |
My mistake the Century Fisheye is working well. Focus ring forward, on Macro, and bottom switch either AF or MF both work.
Thanks for the help. |

Did you need to turn on the WA setting in the menus? |
Rick i did not use the WA setting in the menu for the fisheye but I do use that setting when I use the Sony .8x WA.
|
Just to clarify, are we speaking of the Century .6x in this thread? The title of the thread is .55x and I went to Century's website and only saw a .6x and an extreme fisheye for wideangle, nothing saying .55x.
Steve, your interior helicopter footage was great, it looks sharp corner to corner. Ola, no worries, bro! |
