[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 68240, member: 1926"] I bought it on ebay from a guy that said it was brand new and never used. said in his ebay description that it was the kit lens that came with his new D90 and he had other lenses to use and never used it. I'm not that familiar with the D90 and if it has the focus motor in the body as well as in the lens and was thinking that maybe the D5100 is missing a electrical contact for this lens that the D90 would have or something like that. All the research I did on the compatibility of this lens with the D5100 never mentioned any focus issues. What has me baffled is the way it acts like the diaoptler (sic) control on the view finder. I can fine focus the lens and then zoom near -- far -- or in the middle and it will not alter the focus clarity unless I adjust the ring. In other words, if I duct tape in place and all would be good. [/QUOTE]
