[QUOTE="ckm, post: 82529, member: 10658"] I have checked my focus mode switch several times - that isn't the problem, but thanks for the suggestion just the same. If I manually focus the lens say on something 10ft away and then put the camera back in AF mode it will let me take a picture if I point the camera at something 10ft away. However, if I point it anywhere else different than 10ft away the camera knows it's out of focus and won't allow the shutter to fire. It also makes no visible or audible attempt to get in focus. Fortunately, I use my fisheye lens mostly in manual focus mode anyway, and it's the only lens I own without a drive motor - so it's not the end of the world. On the bright side, it's serving quite nicely as a good excuse to the wife that I need a D600. :) Calvin [/QUOTE]
