This problem has occured quite recently. Basically my nikon d80 fails to focus properly with an assortment of lenses. What happens is that it hunts allot when it shouldnt and occasionally studders. Its like a rapid focus stop focus stop focus stop. If that makes any sense. I've also had the problem that the focus locks on a subject when it is quite clear that the subject is nowhere close to being in focus. So far i've noticed this problem on the 18-55 kit lens aswell as the 105mm f2.8. I've tried removing the lens and putting it back on the camera which has mixed results. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.
This leads me to believe that the problem lies within the contact points in the dslr itself.
For the record my nikon d80 is about a year and a half years old as is my kit lens and my 105mm is a little less than a year old. None of the equipment has been dropped or been in situations where the gear could have malfunctioned.
should i let a shop look at it or is it as simple as cleaning the contact points? (If so how would i go about doing this?)
