Just before I boxed up this lens for shipping to C R I S for repair I
thought I'd pop it back onto my K20D just to see if it would auto focus as
it had not consistently auto focused for quite some time (bought new in
2/09) - and guess what - it began to auto focus, intermittently at first,
and the longer it stayed on the camera body, the less frequently it refused
to auto focus.
It seems (?) to be auto focusing alright at the moment.
I had previously done all the usual - check contacts, switched the lens
auto/manual focus switch etc all to no avail.
Any ideas out there as to what the heck is going on with this lens?
Doesn't make sense to sent it in for repair since it now appears to be
functioning ok, but I don't know how it will perform the next time I go to
use it. It is probably my least used lens.
I remember some discussion here about the lens needing to be on the camera
body for awhile for it to auto function properly - something about charging
IIRC.
