Message: <blockquote data-quote="BF Hammer" data-source="post: 820736" data-attributes="member: 48483">A couple of weeks after buying my first D80 + 18-135mm lens kit, I managed to drop it directly on to the front of the lens. It was inside of a Lowepro "Toploader" case, so it is properly loaded lens-down. Even though it was lightly padded, the lens did not focus after that.I should have tried the warranty. But I dug inside figuring I had knocked a gear out of position. That was what happened. On reassembly I broke the wire connecting the AF on/off switch. Since the D80 also has an AF on/off switch on the body, I just left that alone. I was still focusing good with that broken switch wire when I traded in the lens 13 years later.</blockquote>
