In the photo above the flakes look like \"glitter\". Since when is having flakes of most likely very reflective metal inside of a new $2500 lens OK? Maybe if you don\'t own one?
My VR II will be here on Friday (after a delay, grrrrr), it will be getting a very careful inspection by me and and if there are flakes inside the barrel or on the elements it is going back.
I already checked all of my other (less expensive) Nikon lenses, no sign of bad threads or coatings coming off inside of the lens.
RE: Norway answer. Pores? Really? Those do not look like pores to me. Impatiently waiting to hear from Nikon HQ.
