Originally posted by creampuff Failing VR mechanism is a known issue with the Nikon 18-200mm VR. Quite a number of Singapore Nikon owners have had to send their lenses in to Nikon for repair. The failure can happen at any time without warning.
Hi, Creampuff,
Didn't know that there were quite a number of issues with this lens
perhaps, I better let him know that it could be just his lens needs to be repaired.
Originally posted by rparmar Does this have something to do with the fact that the VR works only in two dimensions but the SR in all three? Or is this some claptrap I have picked up along the way?
Hi, rparmar,
I hope it is not the case for his sake; he has paid a lot of dough for that lens (a really hot item when it first came out).
He is now taking a lot of interest in the Pentax system (envying my 77mm ltd both in the build and quality of pictures taken with this lens).
