SX-70 Sonar Autofocus Bug


Recommended Posts

<p>I have found an SX-70 sonar in near perfect visual condition at a local antique shop, and it seems to function except for an issue with the sonar auto focus. When I press the shutter button half way the focus will ALWAYS turn to 3.5 feet, no matter what is in front of the sonar. Is this an issue that anyone has heard of before?</p>

<p>I guess there aren't many Sonar users out there at the moment. I had one long ago and it did not have that bug, but I'm afraid it's only a sample of one. My recollection was that it was pretty accurate, though easily fooled by even such things as a cobweb, and that it was pretty notoriously complicated. </p>
