Re: FA 50mm f1.7

Hi!

I don't have *istD <sigh> but I've had remotely similar experience to 
what you describe. I started to feel that my FA 50/1.7 wouldn't 
autofocus in conditions where it was autofocusing just fine. By 
accident I had removed the batteries from the grip and in a sense 
re-booted the darn thing (my MZ-6 that is). Since then it is working 
much better.

I therefore would suggest that you re-set your camera probably even 
hard re-set by taking all power out of it...

On the other hand, perhaps you could try to play with AF and this lens 
a little. Perhaps indeed you misjudged a little the conditions and it 
wasn't supposed to come in focus... I found myself guilty of this few 
times just as well.

HTH.
