I recently purchased an 85mm 1.8 USM Canon lens for my soon to arrive T1i. When I took it out of the package and looked it over, I noticed that the focus ring turned both ways without stopping, even with the AF switch enabled. Since I am brand new to DSLRs and lenses I was concerned that something was wrong with the lens (as my other lens I just received, a sigma, was the exact oppisite.) So I called B&H QC and the fellow I spoke with told me: "there is no doubt in my mind that it is broken or dysfunctional, send it back." So I sent the lens back and when the new lens came, it had the exact same "issue." So I called B&H and talked to another "camera tech," who told me that this was "completely normal" and that this was a "feature of all USM lenses". I am not sure what to beleive now So was the first employee correct, or the second?
