Hi, I recently encountred this problem whereby when I click the shutter button and when the camera tries to focus in the viewfinder the image shakes and you can hear clicking noises as it tries to focus. The camera I use is a Sony A6000 and the lens is the SEL1670z. It only happen when I manually zoom and when the lens is extended. Its very annoying because as the camera is about to lock in on focus it suddenly shakes and the camera has to try to refocus. I can still take pictures but if video forget about it. Shakes too much when focusing. Anybody else encountered this problem? Please help.

Hi The problem started couple of months ago with the funny noise coming from the lens trying to focus. It would "trrrrrr"ed for a couple of secs and then focused alright but last month it died completely. Now it doesn't focus and the camera says "lens not attached". I found a page about a similar problem at lensrentals.com (https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2015/04/tearing-down-the-sony-24-70-f4-za-oss-vario-tessar/) and I tore down the lens yesterday but couldn't identify the problem, the parts I could see seemed intact. It was only after I reassembled the lens that I found out that the focusing part was moving up and down freely even when the lens was not attached to the camera. I was hoping that I could attach some videos, but they are too big to upload. I only attach the picture of the focusing part (taken from the lensrentals. I hope he doesn't mind my using it without his permission) Here are the detailed info about the problem: 1. When I turn the camera on, it shows as if everything is alright, but a moment later, without touching anything, the F indicator goes "F- -" and it goes on doing this in turns. 2. When looked into the lens, I can see the diaphragm opens and closes jerkily as the indicator on the screen goes between "F4" and "F- -" 3. When unattached and tilted, the focusing part of the lens (seen in the picture) moves freely up and down (not sure if this is normal or not) Anybody has had a similar, if not the same, problem? thanks a million in advance
