Q: 6. Two questions: Can you manually focus without damaging the motor, Finally, how sharp are the images?. Reports say so-so

A: Images look great and sharp. Obviously, it will make a difference how far you are from subject, and all the various settings - such as F-stop, lighting, and of course, if you are focused well. As long as images are taken normally, you will be able to count every hair on a person's face! Why wouldn't that be the case - especially with a lens of this price! (It was the case with the 16-55 Sony a6000 kit lens too, but this has the advantage of F4 even when fully zoomed in, and zooms twice as far, and has better optical stabilization - and looks cooler too!:) BTW, what are these comments about not forcing lens rings; they turn continuously. Does it mean not too quickly?

Q: 7. When zooming, does the lens change in length?

A: No, it does not.

Q: 8. SI the lense parfocal ?

A: No, this lens is not parfocal.

Q: 9. The lens is fixed at F4 when zooming, but can the lens be manually set to larger or smaller F stops?

A: The aperture isn't fixed, but constant. f/4 is the largest aperture available, but you can set it to anything smaller if necessary and it won't change as you zoom. Whereas with variable aperture lenses, the largest aperture gets smaller as you zoom narrower.
