Before I part company with my body and possibly lens again to the black hole that is Nikon repair in Surrey I wonder if any one has experienced this?
I'm 99.99% convinced its the body but as both are under warranty I may as well send em both back
With a 300 or 400mm lens attached to my D300 and using multi point AF, either 9 or 21 points, when I focus from near to far the lens is driven to the minimum focus distance and stops, it will not budge, switching to single point AF and refocussing the lens will then achieve a lock on a distant object, doing the same from near to far isn't a problem it works okay.
I had a play at the weekend and couldn't replicate it on the D200 so that's why I'm convinced its the body
The problem is it doesn't do it every time, it does do it when I don't want it too
doesn't do it on single point AF or live view
Googled it and can find no similar reported problems, wonder if the repair in Jan didn't find every issue?
Cant find anything else in the handbook or settings to try so thought Id ask you knowledgeable bunch
