i totally no idea why does my lens resist on twisting whenever i zoom in or zoom out, i does require a certain amount of force just to twist the barrel of the lens.

how to fix this?

Today i present my trusty old 18-55 kit lens (F3.5-5.6) which has been gradually failing. I was teaching someone a bit about cameras and were trying to take photos and it just stopped. When holding the shutter button down half way, the lens focus ring barely moves if at all. This either requires me to manually focus my shots now or use my other non-IS lens (my 75-300 EF).

I use a 450D ancient camera and i have verified the aforementioned zoom lens works with AF perfectly, however not the kit lens.

I would assume my AF motor is toast however does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this apart from tearing it down (I'm going into this blind as there are no guides on ifixit for this seemingly common place lens).

I have dropped my nikkor 70-200 afs 2.8G II ED with my camera. I sent them to repair store and apparently they fixed it but I realised that since then my auto-focus with that lens doesn’t seem to work as I get blurry photos. Can someone help me to fix it?

This is what it is doing

So I got the motor yesterday and but everything back together and now it’s says make sure Lens is attached when in video mode and then when I go to photo the f stop flashes from 3.5 to 0 and the af mode goes from -ai servo to MF idk what I did wrong or if the guy sold me a faulty motor

It has a problem in focusing at infinity.

If the lens is set to 10m and the subject at 500m the focus (autofocus) stops at about 20-30 m

If the lens is set beyond infinity the focus (autofocus) works.

I tried to adjust the trimmers present in the lens (noting the prime references) but I was unable to solve the problem.

I suspect that a slot (the last one) of the autofocus encoder is dirty or something similar.

@zephosk Help Me :-D

Not sure what my next option would be. These are tiny tiny screws not sure a dremel tool would be small enough to make that cut. Also, I have no idea where to buy replacement screws for it.

I dropped my mirrorless camera and my zoom lens into saltwater earlier today. They were both completely submerged for 15 seconds.

I did not try turning the camera on after getting it out of the water.

I immediately dried it and removed the memory card and battery.

Is there anything I can do to salvage the lens?

Any insights will help.
