Can anyone offer any suggestions for my new problem that has me in tears?
My 300D recently started hunting a lot more than it ever did with AF. I've now definitely seen it both with my 70-200 2.8IS and 100/2.8 macro lenses, and it may be happening with others too.
The autofocus searching seems to focus closer and closer, sometimes in little awkward jumps, until it reaches minimal focal distance, and then just stops there, never seeks back again.
So for example, I'll point at something 2m away and get focus. Then I'll point at something 2.5m away, and instead of focusing out .5 meters, the lens focuses *closer* until it just stops trying.
Any ideas other than sending my baby in for service, which will leave me without a camera for many weeks?
