Like SnappyHappy thought, do you get extra twist on the focus ring then?
What's the closest you can focus at 35mm?

tremendous wealth of knowledge here.UHHers always come through.

Haha. YEARS, and years ago when spell chunkers first came into use, I wrote something for Barclay Woods Homeowners Assoc. It wanted to know if I meant "Broccoli Woods", Almost fell off my chair laughing!


The worst autocorrect faux pas I ever did personally was an email that I almost sent to an engineer at our company named Diptish Datta. After the autocorrect got through with it, it came out “Hello Dipshit”

ROFL -
I saw that coming when I read Diptish! That one's definitely better than Broccoli!
Good gravy! Gotta love technology. I'm surprised that was in the dictionary.
(We also had a problem with the dictionary, people kept "adding" misspellings, thinking they were correct.)

TWO THINGS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE HITTING send: WHO IT'S GOING TO AND A QUICK READ OF THE TEXT. i KNOW i GUY WHO GOT FIRED FROM A LARGE CORPORATION BECAUSE HE HIT "REPLY ALL," WHEN HE INTENDED TO SEND IT TO A FRIEND. THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY WAS NOT AMUSED. REPLY-ALL IS ARGUABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS FEATURE OF EMAIL.

I know. Sometimes I don't notice it until I've typed a line, and then I'm too lazy for a do-over.

At first glance I thought it was just showing the different "macro" ratios on that scale, but when I look up that lens it's listed as 28-200mm 35mm macro. What strikes me is that 35mm is awfully short for macro. You'd need to get right on top of anything to focus on it in macro mode. There's a reason my macro lens is 90mm.
