Dfa 70-200 grind

Tomzohh · 10-11-2019, 09:27 AM

Hi all,
Since today my DFA 70-200 makes a metal grind when i turn on the camera.
I also got a DFA 28-105, with this one on it doesn't make that noise...

Yet everything works

Do i need to worry about this?
The only thing i notice is next image.

Thanks for the help

grinding is probably not good

do you have any warranty coverage

yeah till end of this month

glad it happens now....
must say, during the use i don't notice anything about it. It's just during the starting i hear that nasty grind like you scrape metal against each other.

** Also if i take the lens of and i put it on again the first time it doesn't make that noise. Only from the second time that i hear it.

I agree with this. In warrantee it's not your problem. Leave it and it will bet worse.

Went to the store back today for a check-up... now they had one over there as well. They tested it on my K1 and it makes the same noise... It"s just the shutter that flips open when you turn on the cam.

Never noticed it before that it made that much noise

. After all i'm happy that there was nothing wrong with my lens.
