[QUOTE="velikiuzhas, post: 469289, member: 39874"] Wayne, Harle, thank you both for your responses. Yes, I did try it on another body -- an old manual Nikon FE. Same problem: focuses fine up to about 50 meters (with most distant point of focus seeming to be slightly more distant with the manual camera than with the DSLR, but essentially the same), but then cannot focus on points more distant than that, i.e. from (roughly) 40-50 meters to infinity. So I fear that Wayne is correct that a repair specialist needs to look at it. Problem is, I don't know if a repair would be worthwhile for this lens, which is not worth more than, say, $700-$800, I presume. Does anyone have any idea how much a re-calibration (if that's the problem) for an old manual 300mm f2.8 Nikkor lens might set me back? If the repair is $500 or more, then it will be hard for me to justify... [/QUOTE]
