m._howard_edwards Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 My lens often hits a snag when the lens scale shows about 20 ft. when focusingeither automaticlly or manually from infinity to minimum distance. This is a SN1012XXX (1981?) vintage lens. It is smooth when going the other way from minimum distance to infinity. Is this a glitch that will self-heal, or will I need to take it in? I amreluctant to use this lens for a repair learning exercise. But if it is a quickfix, I am game. If you have experienced this I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.

mars c Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Self healing, but self wounding as well, the glitch you feel is maybe due to the multi conductor film wire inside the lens. Continued friction infliction may damaged the wire, in maybe a 100 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
