Lens back for sale.
I was about to call the service but firstly i read some about SDM. I did found that it might be the case that if it is not in use for a certain time the sdm will stuck so manual refocusing will bring it back to life (excatly as i have described in mi add). So i have played a bit with it. I have use the lens every now and then to simulate frekvent use. Firstly it didnt come up all the time but later on it was ok. It focus everytime i try, even after few hours of not using it. Now i left it about 12 hours with no use (previously i would not focus straight after i turned the camera on) and it works straight after i turn the camera on. So this has just confirmed that the lens is ok but it was just no in use for longer time so i neede to "start" the sdm motor.
This lens need simply someone who will use it much more as i did. And that should not be a problem as mi camera is at the moment more in bag than in mi hands...

I dont use the lens very often so i want to sell it but after avery time i put the lens on the camera it wont focus straight after the camera is turned on untill i refocus it manually from minimum distance to infinity.
Is it the SDM passing away or is it a normal behaviour of a SDM lens if it is not muchofften in use?
As i mentioned before i want to sell it but i dont want to sell faulty item so i am thinking to send it for service check and as it was purchased in USA, to send it there and get it serviced will take a long time(i believe..) so i will probably send it to JP Service Solution.
