Most likely you inadvertently pushed the camera's AF point selection dial to a position slightly between settings, which makes the autofocus exhibit crazy behavior. It happens to me all the time, and drives me crazy, because the AF won't work right, and I think either the camera or lens is broken, but when I look at the AF point selector dial it has been moved just enough towards the 'select' position to confuse the camera.. I wish there was some way to disable this selector in software so I could just use the center AF point. I don't like this AF point selection dial at all. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
