[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 345498, member: 14443"] I wanted to add a post saying that those who dont know what a squeak means is saying the lens will need repair and this repair is expensive and will cost about 85% of the lens. let others know what the squeak means. the 3 first gen SWM lenses 17-35 28-70 80-200 had the same design. they all use the same components. dave, after going through with the repair and speaking with daniel from NRC in taiwan I became a lot more informed of the components. there is no less or more. they are all n the same level when it comes to durability. actually the squeak does very much affect performance. im letting you know that what you read from others is not correct. from someone who had a squeaking 28-70 lens, the performance is affected. the AF becomes sluggish. and slowly deteriorates over time, till it simply stops working. nikon melville USA doesnt do this repair anymore (first gen SWM) aps might, but it will cost between $400-800 depending who you try. people know there arent many who can repair this as its very hard to get parts for this and thus prices jumped. the only option is nikon japan. I sent it to NRC in taiwan. did a fabulous job but cost me a few pesos. this guy is a pro on SWM [url=http://www.nrcintaiwan.com/]NRC in Taiwan[/url] [url]https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fzh.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F%25E8%25B6%2585%25E9%259F%25B3%25E6%25B3%25A2%25E9%25A6%25AC%25E9%2581%2594&edit-text=&act=url[/url] there is no better or worse when it comes to the SWM in the first gen trio. bottom line is I see it as integrity and ethics. many people dont know the difference between an AFD and AFS but buy expensive gear. we are experienced here so we know but there are many who dont.
