[QUOTE="RayP, post: 832750, member: 60603"] I’ve registered here to get some expert advice from fellow Nikon users. I’ve had my Mk 1 18-200 DX VR lens since 2007. I’m not a frequent photographer but have been doing it for over 50 years. The lens started on a D70 then D90 and finally a D7100. In all that time things have been fine until I noticed a shot taken in poor November light had camera shake. That’s unusual. I’ve discovered VR isn’t working. So I bought a used replacement from a British company MPB. It arrived today and I’m sorry to say VR isn’t working on it either. I’ve reported it to MPB. Is this common with Nikon lenses? Does VR eventually fail and if so can it be repaired? The money I’ve spent on this replacement could go towards a repair if you think that’s a sensible move. I know it’s 18 years old but remains in very good condition and has never been dropped which might have caused damage. Thanks. Ray. [/QUOTE]
