Yes, I believe so.  It seems the lens must be moved to the full 200mm 
position before it is possible to rotate the focus mechanism into the 
close-focus range.  Once in close-focus range the zoom is disabled.

I have rotated the barrel back into the normal position and the zoom 
does work properly.  It just will not come into focus.  The closest I 
can get it to being in focus is by setting it to 65mm and rotating the 
focus ring to infinity.

I am guessing that something is wrong internally in the lens.  A pity 
really since the lens is in very good shape otherwise.

Regards,

Matt
