[QUOTE="Heimsund, post: 835303, member: 62780"] Hi everyone ! My trusty 70-200mm f/2.8 ED VR (mk1) suddenly came to a complete halt today, completely out of the blue. The lens has never been dropped, and I both transport and look after my gear with utmost care. The lens has shown no sign of having any issues prior. No weird noises or anything of the sort. I was in the middle of a shooting session, when all the electronics in the lens just suddenly stopped working. Symptoms: - AF motor is not responding - VR stabilizer is not responding - Non of the switches on the lens seems to work. - There are no noises or movements coming from the lens at all when pressing the focus button. I have tested the lens on both my D4 and my D810, but the lens doesn’t respond on either camera. No error messages in the display. I know that the lens is somewhat old at this point, but I expected there to be some sort of warning signs before it suddenly failed. Is there any common failure point on this lens model that are known to cause these issues ? [/QUOTE]
