Eventually, just replace both for a new combo... possibly (but not necessarily) from a different dealer as well.Will pay them another visit next weekend. Returns are tricky here in Japan, but aftermarket service is usually top notch. I've already registered the warranty with them during the first visit, so I should have a year of free service. Thanks to the whole global situation, the service staff seem to have a lot of free time these days.I suspect its either a calibration error, or some of the lens/motor elements are just ever so slightly misaligned causing the occasional lockup when it doesn't have enough momentum to move past it.Or could it be even a connection issue between the two? Have you tested the body with a different lens and the lens with a different body?Thanks
