Description says "Full-time manual focus", it does have auto-focus capabilities, right???

Yes - as long as your camera is equipped to do that. But have found it hard to use auto focus. The depth of field on macro lenses is incredibly sensitive, the camera can't do it right. IE - flower - are you focusing on the far, middle, or near side of the stamens in the middle the of the flower. Only you can tell what should be in focus and what should be blurred: the far, middle, or near side of a petal? If you are not taking close macro shots you might as well use a close focus zoom lens.

It does have auto-focus capabilities, although any macro work under f4.0 I would recommend manual override.

Yes it does have auto-focus but I find that the manual gets me sharper images.

No it has a manual F-stop. Almost all manual F-stop lenses do not auto focus. It's a film lens, if you are shooting film why would you want to auto focus. The mic will pick up the noise. Manual F-stop lenses (most of them anyway) do not carry chips inside them that communicate with the camera. The point of the manual is because that's how film lenses work.

yes, and you can set it to auto spot focus or continuous focus or set it to manual focus

I didn't see anything on the page that had a all manual lens (although Nikon does still make one) every lens on the page is an AF lens with the capability of also being used as a manual lens if you turn off the AF feature. Hope that helps

This mount does not allow you to take advantage of full functionality. Your auto lens must used in manual mode. I manual focus my lens in aperture mode and it works just fine. At this price you're not going to get bells and whistles, other than a solid, well made attachment for a fraction of the price of the full-function oem device.

I am unaware of any manual focusing capability. It merely allows you to zoom in and out and it adjusts focus as necessary automatically.

yes. there is a manual focus option. I played with a couple times but don't love it (but I'm used to a DSLR and manual focus)

No, not in auto-mode. But you can fine tune the focus when you switch to manual focus on the lens, and you leave the camera set for auto focus.This is different than other Pentax lenses that don't have the switch on the lens, this may be due to the fact that this lens was built by Tamron. I don't find this to be a big deal though, and enjoy the lens a lot!

This does not have automatic focus. It does pretty good for the price. Its small and compact and fits in my purse and that's why I purchased it.

I'm not sure about the auto focus, but I can say that the focus is very soft. I returned the one I ordered because of that.

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens. Michael

It can auto focus at one point before recording as long as you use AF lens, but you have to manually focus after.

Yes but this is a cheap lens it's auto focus is slow and is better for manual. But it works and suits your need if you looking for something that will last you,till you can get a better lens. I have had it for 8 months no it still works great just slow to focus

It is manual focus. Actually, it seems to be a lens from the 1980's, but it is new, and the optics seem to be accepteble. Nevertheless, it takes some time to get used to using it with a digital SLR such as the K30 (which we own).

Yes. NOTE: unlike most lenses I've used/seen it has no auto/manual focus switch on the lens-so if you want to use it in manual you have to use the switch on the body.

Hi Michelle! Yes, this camera have an auto focus. It has a good performance in Macro function and in shoots with good lighting.

No what full time manual focus means is you can correct the focus as the focus ring stays connected and you can override auto focus at any time after it has locked focus, however as I have never had any pictures not pin sharp from this lens relying on auto-focus I never have to use the manual focus ring, the lens snaps in to focus first touch of the shutter every time, just wish my other lenses were as good as this one at getting it right when you need it, best 300 on the market IMO, much prefer this to the 2.8 version.
