How you find your lens RR?

I read that by not turn the camera to manual a risk of damage in the camera AF operation it is possible.
It takes less than 2 seconds any way

Awesome to hear, I like it when its a simple problem to fix

Haven't had much time to play with it. Only took about 10 pictures. Mainly bought it as I did not have anything in that range and wanted to see if there is a focus problem with my other lenses or if it is the D90 playing up.
Still not sure if it's focus, D90 or me

Have to get used to the wide end of the lense. Biggest problem seems to be your own shadow in the pictures. Bought it with a Hoya Ultra Super Slim Multi-coated UV-Cir-PL filter.

Here another one:

just be careful with the slim hoya filter I have been hvinng real trouble with mine binding on to the lens has happened on both my lenses on a number of occasions

DB - yes I have the same issue. I noticed that if I try to put the filter from the top (lens facing skywards) it binds really easily! However, if I put the filter while the lens is on its side, it doesnt bind at all.

Makes no difference to me I always put it on from the side

This is the one big plus of B+W filters (there are other benefits too). They are a brass ring, not an aluminium and don't bind anywhere near as much as the Hoya filters.
