NOT FUNNY!!!
*%%*#&^% lens that I *just* got back from the second warranty repair - AGAIN started to come apart within 3 days of being there. Not a problem as I had my 16-85 I got from my last trip, and the 70-300 I got just before the trip. Just called Nikon - IMO the lens is a POS.
WORSE - I get my 16-85 lens home, after performing flawlessly - I pull it out of the case this AM to shoot a couple pix... and IT does EXACTLY the same thing the 18-200 did.
WTF
!!!
!!!
I gotta ask - is it something I am doing? If so - WHAT? I've NEVER had so much trouble with a Nikon Zoom lens, now I've had 2 come apart the same way. Worse, how do I do the warranty thing on an European Lens in the USA? Yiii!!! (And this isn't counting not having either lens for tomorrow - at least I have my 70-300... for now, anyway!)
