[QUOTE="snj979s, post: 646553, member: 43052"] I'm overall pleased with my copy of Nikon's 200-500mm 5.6 tele. Recently though I've noticed that it is unable to autofocus through the focus range sometimes. If the focus is near where it needs to autofocus it snaps into focus fine but if it has to focus through the focus range it doesn't even search for focus sometimes. I've missed a number of shots this way. So I've been focusing manually to get it close then using auto the rest of the way. Not too big of a problem but I paid a lot of money for it and would rather it worked like any other lens and attempt to autofocus even when it has to search through the full focal range. And yes, it's not a forgot the focus limiter problem. Any one having this issue with the lens? [/QUOTE]
