[QUOTE="hark, post: 787975, member: 13196"] Woody, I had issues with mine, and despite being sent into Nikon for repair, it didn't resolve the focusing problem. I cleaned the contacts on the lens, TC, and body with rubbing alcohol which also didn't resolve the issue. So I put the lens away. Then I came across an Amazon brand of alcohol that is only for technical use - not for sanitizing called [B]Solimo 99% Isopropyl Alcohol For Technical Use[/B]. I re-cleaned all the contacts with it. That time I removed a tar-like blob of black stuff which seems to have resolved the focusing issue. The lens is crazy sharp and quick to focus. Plus its weight makes it a dream to carry. It also pairs well with the 1.4x TC. But [USER=9240]@BackdoorArts[/USER] would be the best user of the lens IMHO. Hopefully he will be able to offer an honest assessment. I bought mine based on Jake's stunning images taken with his lens. [/QUOTE]
