I have a AF VR Zoom-NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ED only zooms to 105 mm.

I have a AF VR Zoom-NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ED only zooms to 105 mm. Any camera I connect it to gives f E E error.

The f E E error I understand but the zoom not working I don't.

Has anyone had any experience with the zoom not working?

It stopped working in mid shoot. I was taking pictures of hummingbirds. I turned the camera off to change locations and when I turned it back on the zoom wouldn't work or I should say that it would zoom from 80mm to 105mm. I took a couple of pictures and turned the camera off. When I turned it back on I got the error message f E E.


Has anyone had experience with this situation or do I need to send it back to Nikon for repair?

It hasn't been dropped.

Did you check the setting of your mechanical setting to make sure its on f/22?
I get that error message on my 14mm sometimes when attaching or detaching because I change the setting by accident.
