[QUOTE="humpbackshooter, post: 233423, member: 18617"] Hello all. Hate to bump a old thread but...... I am having the same problem as stated above. I like to shoot pics while I'm hunting ( ducks in Ark.) The problem began last yr. I have a D50 w/ a [B]quantaray[/B] 70-300 lens. I also have the standard small lens that came with the camera. When I first got the camera, I could shoot shots of the ducks in air and flyin with no problem. Now I have a problem where the camera will not focus. I can still take shots when there is back-ground close or in the distance, but if there is a clear blue sky, then the camera/lens will not focus. The camera will (you can hear it) run in and out, and the not get the green lite in the bottom left. Sounds like there is some gears inside that are stripped at the very end of the [B]sequence.[/B] I have carried the camera to the shop and had it ck out. ($125) They said that there was no problem. I had the small lens on it at that time.That was back in the summer. Used it at the lake for some sking pics, worked O.K. then.
