[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 508479, member: 40735"] Wanted to see if other 55-200 VR users have had a different experience than mine, but I've been struggling to get consistently nice images with this lens on my D3300. (My copy had a faulty VR that I've since fixed, but the IQ still fails to impress). My main issues are graininess and smearing in my images that seem to hurt the contrast and sharpness of the photos, as well as metering issues in low-light where the D3300 seems to overexpose the images by about 1/3 to 2/3 EV. Anyone else notice this metering issue? Re: sharpness (or the lack thereof) my suspicion is the autofocus may be faulty, and I'd appreciate pointers on how to check that.
