My 70-200 has started acting up...
From time to time, the focus mechanism will fail to work. I can turn the focus part of the barrel, but it will fail to actually focus, or do anything. When looking at the focus distance readout on the barrel, I can see it move slightly, then its as if it gets hung up on something.
Then the next time I use the lens, it works perfectly, until I focus it to the closest possible focus, and it may or may not get hung up in the close end again. Then I stop using it for a few minutes, come back to it, and it works perfectly again.
I know that I will have to have it serviced, but I was wondering if anyone has encountered any similar issues with their 70-200?
Thanks!
