    Minolta Service Centre

    Was focusing in AF with the AFMF button pressed. Even tried in MF mode w/o AFMF button. Was able to turn the focusing ring but not fully. Most of the time stuck halfway but occasionally can turn fully.

    Hi, Was having trouble focusing manually. 2 of my lens' focusing ring was stuck half way while in MF mode. In AF, the mechanism is ok. Suspect cam problem. Need to bring down for servicing. Is the service centre still operational after the transfer to Sony?
