Hi everyone.
I was shooting with my D700 today, and dropped my camera. No immediate panic, since I had a hood on my 70-200mm f/2.8, and it appeared that only the body received a slight wound. All good, or so it seemed. Upon returning to my desk for post, discovered that the AF D lens I popped on after putting my lens away was giving me the FEE error. So, checked to make sure the aperture was open and locked. It was, and same error. Mounted a few of my other AF-D lenses, and same FEE error! All apertures properly locked. All gelded lenses work fine! No obvious damage to camera mount, everything looks pristine. Compared mount to my D300, all identical. Clearly, i’m Having an issue with the aperture mechanism, but I can’t see why. Have read various forums all afternoon for similar problems, and I’m perplexed. Any ideas? Am I possibly looking at a costly repair?
