[QUOTE="mbraner, post: 730311, member: 48092"] I've just joined this forum today so wasn't here to answer earlier. Some months ago I bought an AF-P lens to use on my D7100, and ran into the same problem. Or more precisely: it did auto-focus, but I had to re-focus after turning the camera on and off, or even after the metering turns itself off due to timing out. Following advice I found elsewhere on the interwebs, I updated the firmware of the camera - with trepidation, but it completed OK. After that the focus no longer reset up power-cycle. The D7100 with the latest firmware is ALMOST fully compatible with AF-P lenses. One cannot turn off the VR though - for AF-P lenses that's done via the camera menu but it's not available in the D7100. That does not seem to hurt too much, the VR on these newer lenses is pretty smart. And the lens I bought, the 70-300 AF-P VR, is a dream come true: small and light, and offers sharp handheld pictures at 300mm! [/QUOTE]
