Manual focus gear -Lens damage?

1 posts
  1. Hi,

    I have recently bought a manual focus gear for my 45mm Panasonic Leica macro lens.

    Is it possible to use auto focus with the focus gear on the lens without damaging the lens.

    Lens details

    AF motor type is DC micro motor

    MF is focus by wire

     

    From DPreview

    'Focus-by-wire' manual focus

    The most unusual feature of this lens's operation is the focus-by-wire manual focus system, which drives the focusing group indirectly via the lens's autofocus motor.

     

    My concern is that if i use auto focus with the focus gear on the lens i may damage the Af motor?
