[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 255665, member: 8705"] Jake I've read and heard the rumour about the points you make and they are undoubtedly the official line and I would not advise somebody to ignore the guidance. Perhaps I'm lucky, but I've taken a rather cavalier attitude to this over the years since the D70 came out and regularly swap lenses with the body switched on and with VR in whatever position I've left it in. I did read some years ago that if you turn VR off it parks the mirrors for transit but I don't know how true that is. My other crime is that I either use the body switch OR the lens switch to disable autofocus. I think you are supposed to do both. Apparently this is another no no. Anyway, on that note I'd better get the door as the courier is just bringing all my gear back from the Nikon service centre for the fifth time this year :confused: [/QUOTE]
