Ive had the lens two years now Id say and I bought it second hand so really unsure. Will have to double check firmware, ive not touched it so whatever they came with is probably what its on.

camera is 5 month old, around 3000 ops. Debating whether to take it in whilst its still under warranty. Ive still got my d200 and its never done it on that using the same lens. Also my d700 doesnt like my 16gb CF whereas the d200 is fine with it all day long?

Ive not noticed it with another lens but I never use others in anger like I do this one (motorsport use so 500+ today). Oy - will give that a go cheers

Wondering if anyone has had the same? Im using D700 with mk1 70-200VR. Today whilst shooting it recorded a number of black frames and stamped the exif with lens 0mm f/0.0 and a focal length of 50mm???? After doing this it also put the camera in +5EV comp. I took the battery out and remounted the...

Thanks for that Trigs, thats definately something I dont want, wonder how far you need to stop down for it to not be an issue??

sorry, mk1 version.

Okay, so ive gone full frame and now need something to cover the bottom end, my manual focus 50mm isnt really getting me the results Id hope for. On a pound for pound basis which would be the better lens? Ive already got 70-200 covered so the there would be a slight bit of overlap with the...

Bit of a long shot but has anyone any experience of the above combo? Im coming from a D200 with my 70-200VR and noticing the lack of length :naughty: going FX from DX. Thinking a TC will help me out and gain me a bit in the process. I understand theres a drop in f number with the 2x but at that...

Really? I've always felt it helped, maybe the placebo affect though, might try a full day without it then. Ive never had an issue with the pitcures it takes, always been plenty sharp enough, it was just this delayed focussing that wound me up as for the 1st time I was missing shots I wanted and...

The VR in the lens is supposed to detect which way your panning and disable that plane and only apply VR to the opposite plane, so as Im panning horizontal its looking for any up and down vibration. Its never struggled before which is whats concerning me. Ambient light was great.

Evening all, I've never really had any problems with this lens on my D200 but this weekend seemed to throw up an issue that I couldnt seem to work around. I was at santa pod picking off some easy panning shots. I had VR turned ON in normal, A/M and infinity to 2.5m. Camera was on continuous...

Very nice Spike, great use there :thumbs: loving #2

I love mine for landscape work but you cant beat the comedy look it gives to living things :lol:

I wouldnt recommend them but I got a sb900 off them before christmas, they delivered it very quick considering it came from the US. Customer service is absolutely dire though.

thats me out then :'(
