I'm glad my 18-200VR is still functioning.. anyway, lsisaxon, your lens stripping is amazing!!!![]()
the only problem this lens gives me is when I take a shot with the built-in flash on my D70, it cast a black shadow on the base of my photo.. as an amateur, I reckon should be the wide-angle that causes this problem?
cheers!
you dismantle until like that, thought you've written it off...but it's still working, u r good !
Wow this is just great! Just last week i sent my 18-200VR back to NSC for the exact same reason. It just wouldn't focus anything out of 1m and luckily i still had warranty covered for my lens. Should be getting it back real soon but thanks alot for the great insight of the lens. Wonder will they call back their lens due to this reason.
As an owner of a Made in Thailand GREY copy, I almost choked :bigeyes: while reading this thread..
Nevertheless, thanks lsisaxon for the thorough look into a 18-200 VR's insides, very insightful :thumbsup:
Hey, hey, dun worry too much la.
1 You have got 1 year warranty.
2 Due to continuous improvement on their product and getting feedback from their service centres, it is unlikely you would face with the same problem.
These days, if you buy something from reputable companies, chances are that you seldom get to repair during warranty.
they can congratulate you for designing a Nikkor AFS 18-150 DX lens with no VR... and of course, you should charge them for the design ;pNo, it's not going to rest in peace with me around.. The lens still works...except 1) no VR, 2) beyond 150mm zoom because the zoom encoder contacts are broken, the cpu could not know what the focal length it's zoom to, so the AF could not lock.. Otherwise, the optics and the aperture control are still ok. ;p Will see what NSC can do.
