I totally agree with Moose's thoughts and actual experience with his lens.
Mine is also like new in condition, and I get the same results Moose does when
i
grip it harder. If your lens' aperture turns to where you want it to when you
want it to, no matter that it seems a bit hard to you, I'd say stop worrying
and go use the lens without thinking about the aperture ring and see if it
interfere's with your picture taking. I'm going to bet it does not interfere.
We
all can fondle our photo equipment too much and start thinking too much about
if we got a good deal or did we get taken. Go out and USE the damn thing.
