Hello everyone,
Background : I have a persistent problem with my Sony 55-200, since some weeks ago the auto-focus stopped working. AF works with my 18-55 mm and my 50 mm on this camera, the only lens having this problem is the 55-200.
Problem : The AF doesn't work but the lens motor moves and it seems it is trying to focus with no success :/. It goes like that non-stop, even after 5 minutes impossible to focus. I use the lens on MF and it works perfectly, although, in some cases I'd really like to have the AF. You can find the video on this post.
Do you have any thought about this problem? Could it be the motor built-in? Can I do something myself to repair it?
I could bring the camera somewhere to repair but I am not willing to pay a lot as it is a cheap camera nowadays.
Thanks in advance.
