Looks like my new Zeiss Distagon T* 2,8/21 ZF.2 has a defect in the CPU connector. Last night I was shooting and all of a sudden my LED screen on my D800e showed delta F6. Apparently it lost the CPU connection. I tried my other lenses and they were all fine. Once in awhile the connection between lens and camera come back on, but it's not good for a new lens.
I'm pretty sure the depressed connector is the issue.
Have you guys ever seen this?
Should I send it in to Zeiss for warranty repair?
Should I just return it and grab another copy?
If this is normal for the connector, what else could be wrong?
This happened on my digital rebel before. I had to dissemble the camera and pushed the pin out. I'd suggest applying some light grease on each of the contacts.
Try running your finger nail over the offending contact a few times pushing it in and releasing it suddenly, there may be some dust or something preventing it from poping out. On the other hand if that doesn't work return it!
