Thank god it's within the exchange period! I'm curious, what kind of shutter speeds do you usually use with this lens? I tried doing some low light photos, and at an ISO of 800, wide open, only shutter speeds of around 1/2 to 1 second work, and it comes out blurry still. How are all the people around getting such great sharp photos? Tripod? But it defeats the purpose of a fast walk-around lens! So it turns out it is a lemon, I also found a scratch on the lens!

So what I do is to attach the lens shade provided invertedly and my fingers won't be able to overwrite the focus ring. :) However, I didn't feel it wriggles, nor need to turn it slightly first before it catches and then focus. Also mine focusing as silent as other SWM Nikkor lenses. Perhaps you should check others in camera shops. Hope it's not lemon... :( >Nancy,

Do you notice on yours that the manual focus ring is a bit loose? It wriggles a bit, and when you want to focus, you need to turn it slightly first before it catches and then lens focuses. As well, the focusing is quite noisy, isn't it supposed to be SWM? Sigh, I really hope I didn't buy a lemon... Hey, I just got this lens too.
