I took my new D300 out diving last weekend. I was having a great time at first, then after 30 minutes or so I noticed the 60mm Macro lens having problems locking focus.
It would focus as near as possible then not respond to the shutter button to refocus.
This also happened the next day almost immediately when I tried to focus onto a metridium. Some have suggested that I need to add a focus light. Has anyone else experienced this happening?
I did discover that when this happens I can coax it out of this mode by moving very close to something and focusing on it then move backward and work myself back to a normal distance.
