[QUOTE="naruse, post: 750240, member: 48632"] Can anyone tell me whether the focus ring on this Nikon lens should have a hard stop at the ends of its range? My camera had a bit of a fall at the end of the year :( which has caused some serious problems. I'm waiting for Nikon service centres to open after the holidays but if possible would like to know if both camera and the lens have problems. It's my only lens so I can't compare with another. I first notice a problem with autofocus which is way off and tried to correct manually. In the past I've only had to make minor adjustments and don't remember if I've ever reached the end of the range where I'd expect the movement to stop. At the moment it doesn't (although there is a slight change in the feel of the rotation when I go past the end of the range) and I'd like to know if this is normal. If this is normal the both of the other problems (autofocus and totally black photos) could be the camera and the lens may be fine. Since I think Nikon would count the lens and the body separately I don't want to end up paying for two products to be checked if I only need to send one. [/QUOTE]
