Kit lens no longer auto focusing???
Hi All,
With my new primes, I've hardly been using my kit lenses lately but today I put my 55-200mm on and it wont autofocus anymore. I've tried my other lenses and they all work fine. Any ideas what could be wrong? Cheers Free

That's what I thought too, I cleaned them with blower and brush and it's still not working
 Any tips on how to clean them?

Beyond me, I'm afraid. Is it under warranty?

There are a few suggestions on how to clean lens contacts over on a post on photo.net.

I am sure it is a bit obvious, but have you made sure the MF/AF switch is in the AF position? Have you turned it on and off?

 Yes, I switched back and forwards a few times now. It all works fine in manual, but doesn't even try to focus in auto.

Cleaned the contacts, no love, looks like I'll have to call the shop and get it looked at
At least its under warranty
