p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D750 w/ 300f4 AFS...one would AF...one won't?


Okay so...I made it about two weeks without a D750 after trading for the D500. Love the D500! Couldn't be happier...unless I got another D750...so I did. Yeah...I'm a dumba**...that's not news.
Anyway, the one I traded was fine with my 300 f4 AFS with or without the 14ell. This one...EE error...no AF...no shutter release...nuthin'! Works fine on the D300, D7200, & D500, it's not like I'm stranded. Still...I have always loved this lens and would like to be able to use it on FF.
So, I was under the impression that some of these lenses had a chip issue that could be rectified. But...If it is the lens...why would it have worked on another D750? I am stumped. Any hypotheses out there?

Probably your lens.

I didn't type out all the gory details of my experience in that thread, but I had rented a D750 and all was good. Then I bought one and it didn't work with my lens.

It is bizarre how body dependent this is. And frustrating as you are discovering.

Update...so...
Same issue with the Tamron 90...also with the aperture ring.
If I go into controls and set to control aperture with the ring...I get AF to work...that's good.
Cannot change the aperture though...that's bad.
Not giving up yet.
Still can't figure out why these lenses worked fine with another D750.

That's my thread. But my problem is only with the TC-14E. Lens works fine with all bodies without the TC.

The lens and TC are currently at Nikon awaiting evaluation.
