hmm... i can hear some grinding sound around 50mm... still under warranty i better get it checked...

maybe his fren dunno the true price of the lens... tot it will be 2~3K like those entry level packages being advertised everywhere...

usually after i tell my frens about the price of my lens... they will not even dare touch it with a 10 foot pole

u better send it to nikon service center to get it checked... .. who knows what else is broken inside.

they will give u an quote... will only repair if u agree wif the price... if not, can make a lens cup

definitely nikkor DX 55-300 VR becoz of the metal mount (55-200 is plastic), i bought one new a couple of year back for 1.2k

the 70-300 VR is an FX lens... means wif 1.5 crop factor will become 105-450mm on DX camera..

new one i think 2k

if u don need VR... i vote 80-200... tested both b4... both produce same image quality IMO

i don think 4.4k vs 6.9k is a few bucks....

for focus speed the new "re-released" AF-D version is still slower than the VR2 but not by much...

if gonna shoot at low light @ 200mm... i guess VR2 is the obvious choice unless wanna carry a tripod around...

4 me personally, prefer the VR2... slowly saving up now

even the lens is on the floor being rained on...

to prevent filters causing vignetting u need to buy those slim filters

300k pounds?

ya.... a couple of shops in PG say the selling price sud be around 12k

could the problem be wif the cloth u wipe it wif? i use the same cloth as i wipe my glasses to clean my screen protector

latest news from my usual shop....

7.5k... my heart is itchy now

if this is ur first FX body, yeap a 16-35 f4 VR UWA lens will set u back another 4k
