[QUOTE="neil@laubenthal.net, post: 635515, member: 43988"] Thanks for the reply Charlie…yes, one does need to lock the mirror up to get to the autofocus sensors…they're on the bottom of the body underneath the mirror so locking it up is necessary to get access to them. I'm using BBF and the viewfinder…there's a little recessed area in front of the shutter and below/behind the lens that has the focus sensors in it. Posting a sample image won't help much…as all the hunting is happening before shutter release during BBF via the AE-L button. True…it's not a terribly fast focusing lens but before the problem started it focused right in on the subject at the selected focus point…now it's hunting back and forth across the correct focal distance around that point. Not a poor lighting or contrast problem either…tried it in bright daylight with wide open aperture (as well as other apertures) and it's just not focusing on the selected point and stopping there any longer.
