Alan321 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · What are the various possible lens problems? How about "too many" and "too few" And L fever. Don't forget L fever. Also collimation or lens alignment issues that tilt the plane of focus. IS problems. Switch or button problems. Self-zooming due to poor mechanical gearing for the weight involved. Problems with the electronics (computer, motor, servos, etc.). Internal cables coming adrift (and perhaps being damaged by or blocking moving parts). Dust or other muck floating around inside (usually looks worse than it is). - Alan Apr 30, 2008 at 12:37 PM
