Your lens is not communicating with your camera, which could be a result of unclean electrical contacts on the lens. Just wipe the electrical contacts that you see on the lens with a dry cloth to remove any residues on them and try again. If this doesn't work, you may need to contact service personnel.
SOURCE: lens
Sorry, the mounts of Minolta manual focus lenses are different than their auto focus series. Sigma, Tokina and Tamron all make compatible zoom lenses to fit the Maxxum series cameras
SOURCE: auto focus will not focus. lens problem or camera problem?
A dirty filter, front, or rear optic can cause the lens to seek
SOURCE: Aoutofocus stopped working
first, it does get into focus but won't take a picture?
- if so, will it ever take a picture
- if it doesn't even do that, either try cleaning the lens first and if that doesn't work, something may be out of alignment inside if it isn't focusing at all.
I am a little confused by you question as It seems like it won't focus at all and then it will focus but will take a picture you say, could you please clarify this better for me
thanks
SOURCE: can't fully see thru the lens
Look in the back where the film goes in. Are all the shutter blades flat and in place, or are they wrinkled or is one or two blades bent or out of place preventing the shutter from functioning fully? Put the camera in M focus and M exposure at about 15th, Fire the camera several times. If the shutter looks and works ok then take the lens off and look at the mirror. Fire the camera a few times. Doe the mirror go all the way up to the top and come back down, all the way? If so then the shutter would appear to work fine and the lens may e the problem. If the shutter or mirror box do not work correctly they will have to be repaired by a qualified technician.
SOURCE: Is it possible to manually control the shutter
Yes. You have full control over the shutter speed and aperture in the Manual exposure mode, as described in the "M Mode: Manual Exposure" section in the manual.
You also have full control over the focus, as described in the "Manual Focus" section in the manual.
If you need a manual, you can download it (in two parts) from
