Stiff zoom in Nikkor AF-S VR 55-200mm

Hello everybody,

I have a AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm VR lens and I started to experience a stiff zoom between 85 and 200mm..

I know it was a somewhat common problem on 24-70mm, but couldn't find any information on the web related to my lens.

Does anyone have a similar problem? And if yes how you'd deal with it?

Thanks in advance

I own that lens, it's one of the cheapest new 200mm zooms you can buy. It's an okay lens, but you do get what you pay for in quality and function. I personally never experienced a problem zooming, but I'm not super crazy about the plastic feel.

Well I have 18-55 VR and it's in the same price range and also a plastic lens. And I don't have a problem with zoom being stiff on that lens. I appreciate your reply to my question but that not the answer I was looking for.
