[QUOTE="Pleiones, post: 209557, member: 17344"] First let me just apologize if this is not the right location for this type of question. I recently purchased a used Nikon AF-S 55-200mm lens. I'm excited but I'm having an issue and I'm not sure if it's the lens or my camera. Whenever I try to use the lens it makes this weird chalkboard like noise and refuse to snap the shot. No matter what I do or what adjustments I make, it doesn't snap the photo. However, when I switch the camera to Live View mode, the camera takes the shot. For whatever reason, I cannot take photos with this lens through the viewfinder. Can anyone give me an idea as to why this is the case? If the lens works fine in Live View mode, then it's clearly not the lens... right? Am I missing something? My body is a D5100. Any help would be TREMENDOUSLY appreciated as I have been searching the internet for answers all day. [/QUOTE]
