[QUOTE="kevchenco, post: 315236, member: 26046"] Hey people - I am new to the forum and new to wildlife photography and was looking for some advice. I picked up this Tamron lens on friday for my D3200 and have been testing it over the weekend. However, since I have had the lens it has lost connection with my camera on two occasions. It seemed to occur when I moved the heavy lens barrel to zoom as there is a bit more rotational wriggle room when the lens is in the socket when compared to my other nikon DX lenses. I think the contacts were distrurbed I cannot repeat the fault manually and since the second occasion I have cleaned the contacts (although the camera is only 10 months old). Is this something in my technique - when you zoom a heavy lens should you use the camera to resist the torque? The only other way I thought was using your left hand fingers to turn the lens whilst resting the tripod mount in your palm. Wondering whether this lens should be going back to the shop? [/QUOTE]
