momo_nyc Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Autofocus stopped working on my 70-300vr... Wondering if anyone has had this problem and what the solution was...I do hear the vr clicking but no autofocus... I attached another zoom lens and a fixed focal lens to my D700 and they both work fine... It's still under warranty so I guess I can send it back to dealer/nikon if necessary... thanks for any advice on how to solve this...I've have this lens since January and it has worked flawlessly, until today... thanks...

Also a dirty contact point on the lens (seeing as though it doesn't affect your other lenses). Good luck. Nov 02, 2009 at 12:50 PM

Alright...I'll clean the contacts with something, they look fine but you never know...I've already played a bit with the a/m settings switch and the vr switch as well... it's all kinda weird cause it worked fine the last time I used it...maybe two months ago...didn't drop it or anything since...I mean it's been in a bag safe and sound...it just stopped working... thanks for your advice...

Cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol always fixes mine when this occurs. it usually happens when I either don't use any af-s lenses for a while and the contacts on the camera get dirty or haven't used a particular lens in a while and the lens contacts get dirty. You stated that you tried a prime and it focused, was this prime an af-d? If so it doesn't use the extra contacts an af-s lens does. Nov 02, 2009 at 03:42 PM

I just wiped down the lens contacts with rubbing alcohol...nothin' :-( But I will try again before calling the dealer I bought it from... M Nov 02, 2009 at 03:55 PM
