Took my D800 plus this lens with 2x out this morning. Bit of a troubling experience. I have not shot this lens since I have updated the firmware to the latest. Not sure if that is the problem, but now the AF is acting very weird. Stalling and when it misses focus, it chatters back and forth until it reaches min focus distance and stops... not responding. Tried a whole bunch of setting changes.... af-c single, 9 point, 21 point etc. Tracking change speed, battery out, uncoupled everything, tried again. I dunno. Does it with bare 300mm. Combo works fine with my D600. Maybe my D800 is dying. Anyways, looking for opinions. I can video what it is doing
Managed a few shots while I was trying to figure it out. Missed an eagle and a heron because it it\'s antics!
