[QUOTE="dieselnutjob, post: 716792, member: 47318"] I bought a 70-300 AF-S VR on ebay a few days ago and today it arrived. It was described by the seller as "Used - but in excellent condition." which is one of the reasons I bought this particular one. I just tried is on my brand new D750 (which works perfectly with my 24-120 F4) and when I try to focus on something at the other end of the garden (so 20ft away) or any other distance it hunts backwards and forwards rapidly and rattles as it does so. Red squares in the view finder flash on and off as it briefly goes "through" the focus but it just hunts for a couple of seconds and gives up, focusing on nothing. If I use the manual focus ring then it's fine. I had a quick go at cleaning the contacts but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Is there anything I can do before complaining to the seller?
