Originally posted by Basie Hi bigoak Have you tired it on another camera body as well. There was quite a few reports of the SDM contacts on the lens base coming loose. They are the two innermost electrical contacts and are identical. Mine bent and could not make contact any more. I straightened it and it word well until it bent again and broke off. I am waiting for a new SDM contact module to have it working again
My DFA 100 Macro WR is screw drive..... there's an SDM version?
I'm guessing you need to send it in for repair.
I have dealt with the SDM contacts issue before on my DA*60-250, but in my experience if a screw drive lens stops working, it needs parts.
I guess it could be the screw drive mechanism in the camera though, if all your other lenses are SDM, I guess you wouldn't notice. Stick another screw drive lens on the camera to see if it works.
