Remove any filter from the front of the lens.

I've been using my EF 135mm f/2L lens for three years and have taken great photos with it. I've used it for landscapes quite a few times, but not much lately. However, I just discovered that it no longer focuses to infinity ... which means I can't take landscapes. The lens will not focus on distant objects whether it's set on auto-focus or if I focus it manually.

There's no visible damage on the lens and I've taken care not to bang it around. There is no resistance during focus and there are no noises when I shake the lens. I'm mystified as to what could be causing the problem.

Anyone run into this problem? Any suggestions to get it to work again?

Thanks in advance!
