Hello
My Contax G1 is exhibiting a very strange behavior.
When I turn it on and try to focus using AF, the lens extends all the way out, to its closest focusing distance and gets stuck in that position.
However, i can still hear the "Focusing screw", on the camera, turning.
What i am calling the "focusing screw", is the small protruding, "flat head screwdriver" looking piece, towards the bottom of the Bayonet mount, on the camera.
I can hear it turning endlessly, and yet the lens is not responding, it remains in its most extended position, the close-focus position.
As a matter of fact, the "focus screw" continues turning, even when I shut the camera off.
It only stops when i remove the batteries.
Does anyone here have any inkling of what might be happening?
Thank you all in advance for your help,
Carlos
