After reading another post and having the same focus distance lock up, while the camera was on I released the lens slightly and rotate it back to locking on and the problem was solved. Seems to be related to the contact pins (yes all of my contacts are clean and the A1 is less than a month old)
Yeah, the rotational play in the lens mounts of Sony cameras seems to be far greater than anything I've experienced with other brands. 99% of the time when I get a non-responsive camera I just rotate the lens that fraction on the mount and it's fine again. The other 1" usually requires me to turn the camera off and on again.
I have also noted that the latest firmware update (1.31) seems to have introduced some weird behavior when it comes to AF with occasional freezes. Apparently I'm not along in experiencing this, so I eagerly await the new firmware to see if it fixes things.
