Canon 70-200 is ii at problem

Hi, I now have a 70-200is ii lens that has been in trouble recently. The problem is that in autofocus, the focus changes from distance to near distance, but this does not happen at close range and I have to turn the rim. It works for a short time but it breaks down again. What is the problem?

Try cleaning the contacts on the rear of the lens and on the camera body - a gentle rub with a lint-free cloth is sufficient for this.

Autofocus problem on canon 135mm f2
If it focuses OK on manual focus and won't focus on auto focus the problem may be down to a broken ribbon cable in the lens.

The auto focus does not work properly with this lens on either my Nikon D5000 or D7000. I have tried all possible combinations of AF settings. Typicaly, when I use single point to focus, the subject I...
Hi, It wouldn't autofocus on the D5000 as the body doesn't have an auto focus motor in the body and since that lens is AF, not AF-S, it won't autofocus. It should autofocus on the D7000 though, how far away are you from the object you're trying to photograph?

You may just have the left auto focus points selected. You don't say which camera model you have. If on the back of your camera you can see a button with an icon showing 5 small white blocks in a plus sign in a white box press this to select the auto focus points. It should show the available auto focus points and then use the left/right (wheel) button to change the selection

Auto focus not working could you tell me if it is the lens or the camera that is most likely to be broken.
hi there,

what kind of lens do you use? D40 only support AF-S type to run the autofocus properly

have you switched the focus selector on the lens to A/M mode?
if you have but the autofocus is still not working, i assume that the lens-motor has broken

thanks

Hi- purchased the Extender EF 2X II; it seems fine with my fixed focus 300mm, but the auto-focus doesn't operate with my 70-200mm EF IS USM zoom, in any mode. Any suggestions? Thanks G
You haven't stated which body you have but the AF will not work with the extender if the effective lens aperture is too low (remember that a 2x extender doubles the focal length but halves the effective aperture).

Canon's own website states: "Autofocusing does not operate if the effective maximum aperture is greater than f/5.6 (greater than f/8 on the EOS 1V and EOS 3)."

Bought a tamron 28-300mm Di LD lens for my Canon 30D is there anything I could do to make it focus faster when in autofocus mode.it just seems slower to focus on a subject when compared to the canon lens...
Nothing you can do. The Tamron is not compatable with your camera. So the focus will be slower

Autofocus on my Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 EF IS fails
Hello. First, check the contacts on the lens mount--you're looking for bent pins, oxidized(odd-colored) metal, damaged contact points, etc. The camera must communicate reliably with the internal circuitry of the lens unit. If there is any dirt, moisture, intermittent contact going on, the sensitive focusing electronics will be effectively blinded. If all is fine with the contacts, then the problem lies with the circuits in the lens that provide critical focusing data to the camera. Movement of certain parts causes electrical changes to occur at a calibrated rate--if the camera loses connection, it can't tell if the lens is actually adjusting. You'll have to send the lens in for repair--http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SupportIndexAct. This address should get you started.--Hope I helped!---Rick

Canon Extender EX 1.4x ii not autofocussing
The EOS 40D only use auto focus up to aperture 5.6. Only the 1-series use auto focus up to aperture 8. The adapter adds 1 stop to the lens aperture. Since the 100-400 is a 4.5-5.6, the aperture range with the extender mounted will be 6.3-8.
There is a work around though. Just place a thin strip of insulating tape over the three pins on the lefthand side (lens side of the extender). No damage will occur to the camera or teleconverter.

I enter code for vivitar Experience Image center and nothing happens. I bought a canon ELPH 190 which came with a code to enter for Vivitar Experience Image Center. I went on the web site www.vivitar-accessory.com and enter the code. The screen then just shows the background with two squares with question marks in the middle. I have a Mac. Is there another way to get this?
