problem with my Canon SLR
Since a few days a have a serious problem with my SLR (Canon EOS 300
with a Tokina AT-X 242 AF (24-200mm)) lens. It only operates at the wides apertures (over the whole zoom range). When I at smaller apertures the 'empty battery' sign starts to blink and the camera does not operate anymore. It resets again after a short time. New batteries, cleansing of the contact points does not solve the problem. Without a lens the camera seems to operate well. Has anyone suggestions to solve this problem??

Suggests a sticky aperture and/or motor taking lots of current. Try a Canon lens. Get the lens repaired. -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
