QUOTE(celciuz @ Feb 12 2011, 10:31 AM) I'm thinking if I should send my 70200 for servicing before the warranty ends? Hmm... got particles inside -.- damn the VR2's infamous issue back then. I may be wrong but if they do not need to replace any parts, it should be FOC. Two years back, I got my AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 serviced by Nikon Malaysia FOC. There was a slight sweaking sound when focusing and they did a lubrication service on the motor. They may have changed policy now since they also charge for sensor cleaning.How much are the charges for servicing anyone knows before I ask Nikon (at least got rough idea haha). I think you need to leave the lens at the Nikon hospital for a few days.

QUOTE(Tony Stark @ Feb 12 2011, 03:41 PM) that should do it QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Feb 12 2011, 03:46 PM) Correct This is what I got from my researchQUOTE Calibrating your lens is simple. First, find a suitable static target to focus on. With both eyes open, adjust your camera so that one eye is looking through the viewfinder. Focus your lens at your target as you normally would. does it means leave the mark where the lens come into it's sharpest? Now, with both eyes open and focused on your target, slowly rotate your zoom ring until your image is sharp and your eyes no longer feel strained. Refocus your lens if necessary and repeat the procedure. You will get to a magic point where your focus and depth perception are “normal”. At this point, you should be able to remove and replace your camera from your eye with no apparent change in your target. Your lens is now calibrated to your eye. You can optionally create a small mark on your zoom ring that corresponds to the mark on the body. Later on, when you need a “normal” lens, just rotate your zoom ring to that mark, and voila. Read more: http://www.digital-photography-school.com/...e#ixzz1DjE50A9U and use the lens on it mark left to gain it's sharpest result?can anyone give me a hint?
