    D300s Lens Connection Issue

    Just an update, got some contact cleaner (Kontakt 60), which seems to have done the job (so far). Only issue is despite being very careful, a tiny bit got on the mirror foam cushion, and seems to have killed its adhesive bond, so gonna get a new one of those when I get back! Ugh [emoji58]

    Great picture George. Seeing the quality of the shots in this thread is really giving me the urge to switch from dslr (especially since mine is playing up).

    D300s Lens Connection Issue

    That worked at first on the tamron 90mm, but not everytime. There just isn't any play on the Nikon 50mm or Tokina though. Also, the symptoms have shown a couple of times in the Tokina lens now, but that seems to right itself before long. Gonna try and find some electrical contact cleaner...

    D300s Lens Connection Issue

    Tried both, only have a cloth though. Searching online a lot of people rave about Deoxit, when I'm back in UK I'll see if I can source that. Nice name btw

    D300s Lens Connection Issue

    Locked to 22 with is only one it can lock to. Unlocked, spun and re-locked the aperture numerous times, never made a difference.

    D300s Lens Connection Issue

    Hi all, hope you can help me out, in a bit of a pickle. Dusted this camera off after a couple of years in the cupboard and took it to Whitby a month or so ago, no issues using Sigma 30mm 1.4 and Nikon 18-200mm. Worked like new. Got it out again couple of days ago as off to Cyprus, and using...

    What will be your next photography related purchase? Or what photography gear do you lust after?

    Not used my gear in a long time before a recent trip to Whitby. Would like something with a bit more reach so looking at lenses 300mm / 400mm at top end.
