Hi All,
Ive owned a Nikon 70-300 VR for a couple of years now, but I think it has a problem.
The lens shakes violently at times, and is very noisy. The whole lens seems to move/shake, and when looking through the viewfinder you can see it jumping around as the lens shakes. There seems to be a pattern of it jumping low and to the left then up and to the right, then back down, up, etc
This can go on from anywhere from 1 second all the way up to 5 seconds.
The lens is not usable when it is doing this.
Has anyone ever heard of this problem?
It sounds similar to this : 70-300mm VR sometimes violently shakes ...: Nikon SLR Lens Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review
The lens has seen very little use, I'd guess a maximum of 1000 shots, and has been well looked after.
It is now out of its warranty, so I am worried that it will cost me a fortune to get it looked at and fixed.
Thanks!
James
