[QUOTE="hark, post: 740173, member: 13196"] That's when it all started. I removed the lens with TC attached while the camera was turned on and the VR was still set to Sport. I am pretty sure the camera was in standby, but I always try to remove lenses when the camera is off. That was simply an oversight on my part. I'm just trying to narrow down whether it is solely the Sport VR (although Normal VR has had its own issues ever since I purchased the lens used). But for some reason, the AF is also affected at times. That too wasn't an issue even for photos lacking contrast. Yet I can take low contrast images of ducks and geese without any problems then suddenly the AF goes haywire. I need to stay in Normal VR with this lens and TC to see if it ever happens.
