tamron 70-200 2.8
Mar 24, 2013 10:16:06 #
Yesterday I went to use my trusty 70-200 2.8 Tamron on my Nikon d7000 and it would not focus on AF. It works on manual but not AF. It's always worked. I was using off camera flash with those younguo poppers to trigger the flash off camera. I don't know it that is what caused the problem? I wouldn't think so though. It should work. I took those off and it still wouldn't work. So frustrated. Not sure where to look for help. I've been googling ideas but haven't found any answers yet.
Where it usually tells me the aperture setting on the top of my d7000 it has a F - - sign now. So I assume that is just telling me focusing problem. It even shows that same sign when I put it to manual focus. HELP!!!

Does your lens have an aperture ring? And is it set at the smallest aperture? (Highest F number.)

Simple, get cotton bud and clean these

IN REALITY I simply lick a white hanky and wipe them over, or a cotton bud, Just took this for you cleaning one of my Sigmas, licked (new) toilet paper.
Same for camera contacts but I use a cotton bud for them and don't press hard

Forget that there isn't one, most don't have them now.

well shoot. I cleaned the 70-200 contacts with the alcohol, no luck. Any other ideas? I hate to think about what it will cost to take it in. I know I tried it on both my Nikon d90 and my Nikon d7000 with no luck

I have a Tamron 70-200 2.8 and had same problems. Then I noticed that I had accidentally put it in Macro mode by pulling the focussing ring back. If it has the macro feature check that.

If you see a blue ring you are in macro mode and that needs to be pushed forward

You need to grab this ring and slide it forward.
I see what you are talking about. No I know about that. Not the issue. Wish it were though. Thanks for trying
