How easy is it to still focus in and out on the lens with this cover?

Very easy indeed. The cover can be attached behind the focus ring so it turns freely.

No doubt about it , it's awkward!!!! It's a long sleeve, thin enough yo move about and keep your camera dry, but it's very awkward

No, it would be great if it had that option though. I haven't had any issues with the auto focus because the camera itself can easily be moved around.

I have not noticed any fringing with this lens. It is on my camera daily it seems and is my go to walk around lens.

Well, as any manual lens, is very easy if you know a little about photography. This should not be an issue.

Very! But the shots taken by it are worth the effort. As the other commenters said, you should slow down and set it up properly...... this is not your regular point and shoot to go type of lens. And it's extremely bulbous and heavy with a lot of knobs...... good luck!

The autofocus is a little noisy, if that's what you mean by 'lens mechanism'. No other issues that I can think of.

The ring locks in with just a quarter turn onto the Canon lens. There's just the tiniest amount of play after it locks in, and that seems reasonable to me. It's easier if you first screw a filter onto the adapter, then the hood onto the filter, then that assembly onto the camera. Feels plenty secure to me.

In broad daylight, not too bad....in low light - pretty terrible. That said, I don't hardly use autofocus, and overall this lens is a good buy. I don't regret it.

You have to be able to turn the lens incasement in order to adjust focus.You also might need to clean the lens with soft lint free cloth to remove any fingerprints that may be on the lens. If you haven't got too far on the install, you maybe able to adjust then reinstall. I hope this helps.

I assume you mean 'in focus' for people with less than 20-20 vision. Yes, the rubber cap holding the glass lens will screw out quite a distance to adjust focus. It's good for about 1.75-2.00 diopter. The downside is there is no locking ring to hold the cap at your preferred focus point. (A dot of silicone sealant can hold it in place ) 2.25 diopter or higher? It won't screw out that far.

It'll work well. One trick to know about, to release the lens you don't push the button, you slide it.

Well from what the companies says...it's not suppose to be hard...but it takes a while to get it right...and in my case..the hood once reveresd over the lens...it started rubbing up against the lens it self...and that made to focusing take even longer....and I bet after a while it will mess with the look of the lens by so much rubbing.

The focus is slower but I expect that with a larger lens. Once it's focused initially though, I think it performs well.

It might be feasible to try EasyCover's lens kit to prevent this from happening. It provides a rubber ring that screws onto the front of the lens to protect the rim. However, I am not sure if the rubber would have too much traction inside the case, which could degrade the autofocusing ability.

Ruben, there is a learning curve, but well worth it. It seems a bit awkward working the tilt-shift knobs. Sometimes I wish I had another hand! It is a great lens - almost magical...Fred

I've had absolutely no issues. This is my second most go to lens when shooting portraits. I prefer the 70-200 more, but that's just my style.
