Try checking that a front element retaining ring is not loose. Coupla years ago bought a 200mm Prime for nix, thought it was a bargin till I found it would not focus. By chance I was holding the camera lens pointing at the ground and lifted it to focus on a bird in a tree…….heard a clunk!

The front retaining ring was loose and the guy who sold it to me thought he had sold me dud and skun me for a bit!!!…..After adjustment I had a prime worth several thousand, that cost a couple of hundred!!
