Q: 3. I just purchased this lens for use on my new Sony A7R III. Very heavy and hard to imagine using a camera shoulder strap that allows this lens to pull down on the camera? Damage to the camera? What solutions are there for straps while carrying this lens on the A7R while walking around? This is a new system for me. I just converted from Nikon D810. Thank you in advance.

A: I come from a Canon 5D world, moved into a Sony alpha 6500 for a lot of reasons, but weight and size were a big one. That being said, I have always used an over shoulder sling type that secures to the tripod connection point on base of camera body. It swivels and it can literally dangle behind you, hang and all of the weight is distributed up and over opposite should and it wont slip off.

Q: 6. does this lens focus manually as well as AF? I just got it and when I turn the focus ring I do not see any change in focus.

A: I think the answer to your most recent question is it depends , e.g.,If camera is set to AF-S and you use back button focusing with lock-on when you lift your thumb off the back button, then you can tweak manually. If you use shutter button (half press), and then, keeping it half pressed, tweak manually it may work.If you use AF-C the camera will override any tweak/s.If you set Direct Manual Focus (DMF), it will start as AF-S and then go to manual focus mode where you can tweak the focus -- it will stay in manual focus as long as you are in half press shutter button. DMF is even more helpful if you have set Peaking Level and Color.

A: I've had it out for Friday Night Lights through many light mist to pouring rain circumstances. I do use a Rain Sleeve & I've not had a problem.
