[QUOTE="moose, post: 10510, member: 3587"] Hello, I'm new to Nikonites, so I hope this is an appropriate question and appropriate area. I went to a basketball game a week or two ago and was attempting to take some pictures. I noticed that sometimes, the camera would seemingly lose connection with the lens, which is evidenced by no aperture (F stop) being listed. Considering I had been taking pictures just fine a minute earlier, I found this to be odd. Without the lens and camera making connection, the camera would not auto focus, which is a problem during fast paced sports. I guess my question really is that, is this a common issue? I purchased my camera and lens used a couple of years ago from a well known photography site, and when the camera came, it seemed as if it had been barely used. I have never sent the camera in for service, but can Nikon fix this issue? I'd be willing to spend a (reasonable) sum of money to fix this camera rather than purchase a new one. I am a college student and purchasing a new $500+ camera is really out of the equation for me right now. Also, does this sound like a camera body or camera lens issue? If its a lens issue, I can just buy a new lens. I hope all that made sense, if it didn't, let me know and I can try to explain better. I'm a little bit at a loss of how to explain the issue, so that was my best attempt. -- Moose [/QUOTE]
