I have a problem with my 14-45mm. Touching the filter ring or the front tube part of the lens brings the image out of focus. And I mean touching with just a light touch. The longer the lens the more noticable the out of focus is. Also, in manual focusing mode, the lens gives out strange noices, like if it had sand in the cogweel mechanism, which I guarantee it hasn't, unless they put it there in factory. Image quality is not a problem, unless I touch the front part, just after the focusing ring, which I have to do some times with Polarizing filter on.
Anybody else noticed this? :dunno: I don't have the same problem with 40-150mm. Is it the 'Made in China' syndrome that causing the trouble? 14-45 has Made in China label, while 40-150 is a Made in Japan.
I know, I know, I should have got the 14-54mm, but I haven't. :sticktong
