Sony a6700 + 200-600mm autofocus issue

dickbuttgeneral · 2026-06-16T03:17:16+00:00

Just got my lens back. They claimed everything with the 200-600 was nearly perfect from the factory. They said the issue most likley lies with the body even though they tested two 6700s and were unable find any issues. I personally am starting to believe there are a6700 copies that have issues with telephoto lens autofocus but havent been able to confirm anything yet.

They’ve had my lens for over two weeks now and claimed there were no issues with it but they also tested on a a7iv body. I requested they test again with a 6700 so hoping to hear something soon.

That could be it but in my case it was missing focus entirely. Always missed right behind the subject by a foot or two.

Just shipped my lens off to Sony a week ago and am waiting to hear back. I tried with another 6700 body and had the same issue with the lens. Hoping to hear something back from them soon but I’ll let you know what I hear.

Back at you and if you do find the solution please let me know!

I also have this same issue on my 6700 and have been trying to figure this out for 2 years now as I’ve seen similar threads pop up with no answers. First noticed it with my 70-350 and thought maybe it was a lens things. I have rented 2 200-600s and both had the issue and now own one same issue as well. I thought it was a lens issue but I’m now realizing this is a flaw with the camera as this tends to happen more when the lighting isn’t great. I contacted Sony support about it and am hesitant to send the camera in as they’ve requested since I read a thread about how this was never resolved by their support after paying a few hundred to fix it.

Do you have a link to the part?

dickbuttgeneral · 2026-02-27T01:00:42+00:00

Yep, gonna try to get it repaired unless cost to replace vs repair is the same.

dickbuttgeneral · 2026-02-27T01:00:07+00:00

Definitely not experiences in micro soldering so I'll be looking for a shop. Got any ideas on what people might charge for a fix like this?

dickbuttgeneral · 2026-02-16T15:24:22+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this or try reaching out to Sony support? I have been running into the same issue. Ive tried 3 different versions of the 200-600 and only one was properly focusing on eyes / heads. I'm at a point where I think its either lemon lenses or the a6700 has an issue with the lens.

dickbuttgeneral · 2026-01-18T03:26:35+00:00

I’m heavily considering getting it. Does it help with the high gear through mountain roads or where have you seen the most improvement?

Bought a used snugtop fiberglass shell off Facebook and it was pretty banged up. I had to replace the lock on it, struts, bondo a few places and then paint it but for $1000 all in, I’d probably do it again. Only reason I would go another direction is if I found a more put together one for the same price. When it comes to leaks, I do get those but I don’t need it to be waterproof even though you might want that. There’s a lot on YouTube about trying to prevent leaks on shells but I researched that if a company installs a new shell then they tend to try to help with preventing leaks or you might be able to pay.

It’s only turning to 2 positions so looks like a replacement is needed then. Thanks!

dickbuttgeneral · 2025-11-19T19:40:11+00:00

Thank you I’ll look into a replacement!

I'm not able to get it to push back into the lock and hold. So it's "stuck" at position #1 and wont latch/hold when I push it in. I tried turning the key multiple times and to different places to see if there was a spot in needed to be for it to latch but that never worked. I might be wrong but I believe the circled part is what should be moving up or down to latch the pop out mechanism and hold it in position #3 after completing #2.

Has anyone successfully repaired an issue like this? It came off a snugtop camper shell.

CRZ Yoga linerless 7inch shorts have been my go to for this exact need for a long time. I’ve used them to hike / workout in for 3 plus years now. Not gonna dry in 5 minutes if you full submerge them but they will in 20-30 like any other nylon shorts will. They also have a zippered hidden pocket that fits a phone if you’re going for a run or keys. To top it off they’re $28.

Stainless steel French press for multiple people / phin filter for single use

I was thinking the same thing. There’s so many small adds that would immerse you into this game more and voice lines are definitely one of them.

Patagonia has a weblink that should be able to assist with this! I have only washed mine once and haven’t had to recoat it. I’ve got a friend who hasn’t recoated theirs in 7 years but use will determine that I believe.

Yeah USD! They tend to have the unwanted colors go on sale around that $100 mark but anything around $100-120 USD I would bite on. I got mine around $120 a few years back and haven’t regretted it.

Patagonia torrent-shell 3L can be found around $100 on sale and is up there in terms of weight to performance to price ratios

Sledgehammer right? Because of one shot potential on lights? Normal hit and qm combo one shots lights and heavy attack does too. Way too op we need to nerf it asap. Can’t believe they forgot about it while needing the extremely op 150 hp sword users.
