[QUOTE="hark, post: 740613, member: 13196"] I think I can put this to rest for now. It's definitely an issue with the lens despite cleaning the lens contacts with rubbing alcohol. Once again I coupled the lens with a new TC. Lots of front focusing by several inches. Initially I used it with Sport VR. It was the first time in a long time that the image would freeze within the viewfinder. I shot several pics then switched to Normal VR. After several more shutter actuations, I went back to Sport VR. Suddenly the images within the viewfinder wouldn't freeze. This has been an ongoing issue, and obviously with a different TC, the TC isn't at fault. The AF might also be affected, but at some point I will send the lens to Nikon for repair. It's possible there is more grime within the recessed areas of the lens contacts. I removed what I could get safely. I'm just hesitant to send anything in for repair right now - not sure if Nikon's repair center has many people working yet. [/QUOTE]
