I have the Maxxum 7D and I have an old Vivitar 28-210 lens. When it is
attached to the body I can't choose the AF field and it doesn't matter in
which position the switch is. All the time I see the "checkerboard" on the
display and the middle filed is chosen. I can't change it. Is my body
broken, or my lens is broken, or my lens is to old to support this function?
I think the last case is correct...
I'm also thinking about purchasing a new wide angle lens. I don't have
enough money to purchase the super one, so I'm thinking about
Cosina/Vivitar/Phoenix (all makes similar) 19-35 f/3.5-4.5 lens. Will it
fully work with 7D (I mean the AF field)? Is it bad/good lens? What can I
expect?
Thanks,
