Nikon Lens: AF-P 18-55 lens autofocus issue

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 02:25:54 -0700

The lens suddenly stopped auto focusing. What may be the issue ? The camera is autofocusing with other lens but not this one. I have tried to clean it and re attach it but the problem persists.

Hi,

I have dropped my nikkor 70-200 afs 2.8G II ED with my camera. I sent them to repair store and apparently they fixed it but I realised that since then my auto-focus with that lens doesn’t seem to work as I get blurry photos. Can someone help me to fix it?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:38:55 -0700

Good afternoon, I'm having trouble cleaning the first set of lenses from fungus. I can't separate the two elements of the first set of lenses for the Nikon AF ED Zoom 80-200 2.8 made in Japan. What kind of glue do you use? If any, what solvent can I use? Can it be done with heat? At what temperature? Help!

Nikon Lens: How to fix a stuck camera lens

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 02:28:47 -0700

A while back I accedentally dropped my camera, and now the small lens that came with it has trouble zooming in and out, it can if I really force it, but it can't do it automatically, it just makes this really awful grinding noise. I can't really afford a replacement or to get it fixed professionally. Any tips on how to fix it myself?

Nikon Lens: Autocus wont work after rotating focus ring while AF

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 02:57:17 -0700

My sister was using my Nikon D3300 and "accidentally" rotated the focus ring of my Nikon 55-200 DX while it was set on AF. Im pretty sure I heard a noisy "clack" and now the aoutofocus wont work anymore; It doesnt even try to focus (you can hear a tiny noise but not a "focusing" noise).

Specific lens: Nikon 55-200mm 1:4-5.6G ED AFS DX VR

Any advice?
