I just bought a used Pentax SFXn camera. Otherwise it seems to work well, but autofocus works only in one way, from far to near. The motor doesn't seem to rotate in the other direction. I have to switch it to manual focus in order to focus further. When it should focus further with autofocus, it only shows a solid > signal in viewfinder. The lens I am using is the K-x kit lens, DAL 18-55mm. It works well with K-x, so the problem doesn't seem to be there (the imaging sircle is too small when zoomed <24mm, but from that on it fills the frame). Do you have any suggestions what could be wrong with the camera or if it could be fixed easily?
I won't return the camera because it was so cheap and I have many manual focus lenses, but it would be very nice if autofocus worked correctly.
