[QUOTE="Pleiones, post: 209593, member: 17344"] Thank you so much for the replies and welcomes so far! :) I do believe it is the lens and not the body. I tested my other lens, 18-55mm, and it works both in AF and Manual mode. No issues, no delays, no noise. However, when I switch back to the 55-200mm, it struggles to work. The sound it makes is almost like it needs to be oiled. Like it sounds like the gears are just struggling really hard to work and can't function so it squeaks. When I switch to either Live Mode or Manual, everything is fine. Shoots perfectly and does what I want without an issue. But AF is where it struggles. I do believe it is the lens and I hate to send it back since I purchased this off ebay. I guess I'm just not eager to have to wait for another week or two for a replacement if this can be fixed with just a simple adjustment. But if this isn't an easily fixed problem, I may just have to go ahead and send it back for a replacement. I can do one of two things.
