Manual Focus Dosen't Work?

[myvinyl333]

After using my Nikon 80-200 lens to sell I noticed that the MF was not working. I always shot in the AF mode so it was not an issue. Any ideas other than sending it in to Nikon?

Get an estimate and sell it as is. Never know they may not need manual focus.

Which 80-200mm do you have?

That lens has a A/M switch that needs to be "shifted" to engage the manual focusing system, right?

Plus the switch can break, and it's easy to leave the switch between the AF and MF positions.

Are you saying the focus ring is stuck and won't turn, or that turning the focus ring doesn't effect focus?

I assume the lens AF's ok.

The focus ring rotates in the M mode. The AF is perfect...

 

[myvinyl333]

Yes, but the focus ring rotates and does not effect the focus?

The gear that the focus ring actuates, is not driving the focus mechanism.

The lens needs to be repaired.
