Hmmm..., this sounds like the person who posted the same thing
a ways back that started a minor thread (and I responded to him
by e-mail once or twice, also). Soon after, he posted about 5
out of 7 (?) 20mm f2.8 Nikkors also having problems. I could not
solve his problem, but suggestions that the staff should stop
using Nikkor lenses as chocks to keep the newspapers' trucks
from rolling on hills;-), and that staff members be made at
least partly responsible for the care of their equipment
(beaten equipment cannot be expected to serve well) appear
to have ended our exchange.
Hope This Helps
