Thanks. I went ahead and paid 10,000yen more for a brand new one and the focus ring isn't so loose. I'm glad I sent that used one back.

Ah ok (re: the ring). Does yours turn super easily then? I'm just wondering if that was just the used one I got. On Fuji vs Fuji he says it's tight. As for which one to get, I'm definitely getting the regular 56mm. I was just wondering whether to pay 90,000 yen for a brand new one or keep looking for a used one in good condition for 75000 to 80,000yen. I'm definitely not interested in the 90mm as 1)my studio is too small and 2) I'd rather get the 50-140

I couldn't find an official 56mm thread so I'll post here. On Monday I won an auction for the 56mm but unfortunately it wasn't as nice as described and I sent it back. I did get to test it out though. Absolutely beautiful image quality! My question is, how is the focus ring on everyone's 56? The one I had had a really slippery focus ring and I couldn't even put the lens on the camera without spinning the focus ring and aperture ring inadvertently a few times. Now, I'm just wondering if paying more for a brand new 56mm is worth it, rather than trying to save $100 on a used one.
