I just listed an excellent M42 Super-Macro-Takumar 4/50 on eBay. If you'd like to take a look it's here:
AF-S 300/4 lens won't auto-focus?!
in Nikon
Posted
<p>I dug out my 300/4 after not using it for approx. 2 years, as a friend wanted to buy it.<br>
When I put it away, it was working fine.<br>
When I took it out, attached it to my D750, it would not auto-focus at all. I tried it on my old D300 and it eventually did auto focus, although it made some whining sounds for the first 10-15 seconds. Then it worked perfectly, focusing quickly, for approx. another 30 seconds. Then it quit. Manual focusing is fine, but not for the potential purchaser.<br>
I cleaned the contacts, and tried it on the D750, D300 and D2x - nothing.<br>
The lens is long out of warranty. Is there anything I can try before sending it in? <br>
All help/suggestions much appreciated.</p>
