Problem with my Nikon D4 and 24mm - 70mm lens

So I have recently bought a Nikon D4 which I have been immensely impressed with it. However, two weeks into using the camera the auto focus function wouldn't engage using the my Nikkon 24mm-70mm lens. I initially thought it was an issue with the camera settings but after spending several hours of "fiddling" and having no luck, I tried it on my 24mm lens. And to my surprise the AF worked brilliantly. Swapped it back to the other lens and the issue occurs again. The 24mm - 70mm lens is also very new so I don't understand whats going on. M/A & AF is all on as should be...anyone got any ideas?

If you could try the lens on another Nikon, it could give you a extra clue. Could be something wrong with the lens or the connections, it's kind of hard to predict and has to be investigated the hard way, isolating one thing at a time. Keep us posted if you ever find out the cause and it's easily fixable.

First thing to do is to clean the contacts on both the lens and the camera. Use a very good lens cleaning compound or Isopropyl alcohol.
