is the MF and AF switch on this lense for when either shooting auto or manual?

MF = Manual Focus, AF = Auto-Focus. Use manual if you want to manually control the focus when you are using a low f-stop. This will allow you to have the foreground or background slightly out of focus to enhance the subject.

I have the II. It has no switch. I've used it in auto focus only and I've never used it for video.

It has a setting for manual or auto-focus on the side. I love the camera and kit. Great value!

Auto focus is a feature of the lens. Most mf3 lenses (including the kit lens that comes with) have auto and manual focus. It does not have a built in flash, but comes with a small external flash that mounts on top.

Yes. Zoom and Focus are manual with the inner ring for the later.It s a little bit to freaky not so gradual control.Its endless so no physical connection with lens I guess.

Some high-end lenses have focusing ring that can be pulled back into a MF only mode. If this is the case simply push the focus ring forward. Otherwise, press the AF button (above the on/off switch) and use the left and right direction buttons until S-AF is selected.

Unless the lens has been updated with the AF chip (like a Nikon version) it's a manual lens.

If you have access to turn on and off the auto focus of the lens in your camera (the switch must be in the camera like the D7000) if you have that yes of not you have to look for the one that have the switch in the lens. This one is for full frame cameras or cameras that have that option.

I am not sure. Auto focus works good,but manual focus grinds like sand in focus area. Still my favorite lens. Normally use auto focus unless can't get the shot I want

Maybe I didn't get the question, but there is AF switch on the lense, so you don't need to switch anything outside...

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens.Michael

Don't quite understand the question but I have the Pentax version of this lens and it can operate in manual or auto focus. Just flip a switch.

It has that standard AF/MF switch on the side. Set to MF and you adjust the focus with the ring. It's like the other lenses I've used from Canon and others. I'm not sure what slip-ring would be, unless you mean it focuses and then you change it. I haven't tried that.

Most of these lenses will be interchangeable however some auto features may not work. In most cases it should still function in manual mode.

Yes, and it's better than that. Depending on the lens you are using, you can go autofocus, or manual with the aid of the "green dot" in the viewfinder. The focus indicator light works with most lenses I use when I have it on manual focus, so you know if you are actually in focus. Not much excuse for out of focus photos with this setup.

I may very well be in this very situation. I have ordered this lens used from a private seller thru Amazon.com. It was sold under the heading of being an OS system lens. However I have reason to believe it is not. I believe that 'Pastor Aguiar' has purchased the older model of this lens which is sold thru Amazon.com with no AF listed in the posted add. However it does have AF. I am guessing that the lens only has a limiting switch on the side and no OS or AF switches. Judging from the date or your posted question, I bet that I am a little late with this answer.
