I have purchased new D7000 with four new lenses and I seem to be having an issue with the AF-S NIkkor 18-55mm 3:5-5:6G VR DX as this will not auto focus with the body. I have no issues with the other lenses I have also tried the same lens I have for my D40 without the VR and this seems to auto focus. Is this something I am doing or faulty lens?

Does it AF on the D40? Is the lens switch set to "M"?
 
The switch is set to A and the lens won't workonthe D40 as VR lens I think it must be faulty as other 3 lenses work fine on the body
 
If it doesn't work on either camera, then consider cleaning the pins on the lens - you can do this with a pencil eraser (I find the type on top of a pencil best), be sure not to let the rubber bits go into the lens and make sure you brush off the rubber pieces afterwards though.

Also, try sliding the A/M switch a few times... failing that it has probably had it, unless someone else can come up with something to try...
 
I'm going to return the lens as its brand new so nothing should be wrong with it.
 
Well have requested for it to be collected from Amazon as the other lenses work perfectly. New one being sent out.
