Re: Manual focus of Olympus 60mm f2.8 doesn't work

Thanks for your suggestion.

When I first switch it into manual, an icon shows up on the back for manual focus zoom.

I did just try my 15mm, and when I rotate the focus ring, the focus slider appears on the LCD and the focus point moves with the focus.  So at least with that lens, it's operating as expected.

I cleaned the contacts of the 60mm and tried again, checking for firm attachment or mount wiggle, all seemed to be fine.  Just nothing happens when I rotate the ring.  If I press down on the shutter part way, it doesn't focus, either.  But as soon as I put the switch back in AF and partly depress the shutter, it focuses and beeps when in focus.
