I am new here... Some time ago I purchased a used Canon AE1 system. In the store, at the time, it appeared that all the lenses worked fine. Now I find that neither zoom telephoto (a Sears 28-70 and a Vivitar 75-205) will focus near or at infinity. The Canon standard 50mm lens seems to work fine unless I attach the Focal 2x teleconverter; then it will not focus at infinity, either. Both the Sears 28-70 and the Focal teleconverter appear to be almost brand ne, with very little sign of use. I also recently purchased a new 28-80 zoom that focuses just fine at all distances. I have never used a Canon camera before...is there some sort of adjustment that can be made or needs to be made on the lens mounts after they age/from use, etc? I'm stumped!! :confused: [b]Canon AE1[/b] [color:blue] [/color]

This is spooky, the same thing happened to me except that I have a Canon EF. I've got 4 lenses and they refuse to focus to infinity. I thought that it was just in the viewfinder but the developed pictures were out of focus too!. I've had Canon equipment for almost 30 years and I'm stumped about this problem. I'd love to hear an explanation. redbarnz redbarnz@hotmail.com
