[QUOTE="ckm, post: 74673, member: 10658"] My lens and body are super clean and low mileage. The exposed drive "gear" appears to have no physical damage and is clean. It retracts when I select "M" on the focus mode switch - like it should. The camera won't let me take a picture in auto-focus mode unless I point the lens at something in the field-of-focus that the lens happens to be set at. The body is acting like it's waiting for the in-focus report and it never gets one unless I point the lens at something at a distance that is in focus. The same lens/body(D200) worked fine a month ago. My lenses with internal focus motors are working fine. I only have one lens (10.5mm Nikkor fisheye) that uses the body's motor drive. It's the one not working. So it seems to be something to do with the focus drive system. I do have my focus mode switch on "S". I've tried switching if back and forth also. Nothing helps. I have a friend with a D200. I'll get with him and see what my lens does on his body. I was wondering if the D200 has a disable feature for the focus drive system in the menus that maybe I inadvertently turned off? Could I get that lucky? This isn't something dumb I'm doing and just don't have the focus drive system turned on - or something like that? [/QUOTE]
