[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 173657, member: 14629"] Sounds like lens will focus, but step 1 for me would be to take the lens to the camera store (that has a d7100 presumably :) ) and try it on one of their display bodies. I know the best buy here in So Ca where I bought my body would let me do that. Regardless of what the type of problem, when you troubleshoot something, I've learned it's best to absolutely rule out the obvious things first because that's what your mind wants to focus on - in this case it seems there's a question about the lens working properly. But then again, maybe it's the camera. Hence the quandary - what came first the chicken or the egg. Step 1: If you know for sure (e.g. use another camera) that your lens will focus properly then you know it has to be something to do with your camera. [/QUOTE]
