Hi there,
I got a lens from a friend. He pretty much gave it to me. It is a USM Canon mid range zoom lens. It autofocuses and works alright till you pass certain (around 50mm) zoom range. At longer range, the lens keeps trying to autofocus but it cannot. The focus confirmation light(yellow dot) blinks and you do not hear the confirmation beep. Thus camera doesn't take any picture.
Lens works fine at wide angle end (50mm and wider). This only happens when I use 50mm zoom or more.
I tried all autofocus modes; the result didn't change. I know my camera is okay because I do not have this issue with my other lenses.
When I use manual focus, I can focus on anything at any zoom range with no problem and focus confirmation light comes on. So problem is when I pass 50mm point.
So am I looking at a hardware problem here? Is this a common problem?
And is it fixible? I really liked this lense and I would be willing to spend some money to fix it...
Thanks
