I bought the KES foot  The release trigger is so much better than the foot that came with the lens ( not Loosey-goosey that you could knock by accident) and it has safety screws and it locks down ...

Thank you all for your thorough investigation of this issue. I will take a closer look at the mechanism on mine to see if the pin holes are too shallow. I have wanted to put the camera and this ...

i have not reported it to Nikon i just ordered the Kirk replacement foot to try and I’ll also be tethering because now I’m paranoid. Lol I’ve never had this problem with another Nikon lens or my ...

Thank you

Thank you.  I will try all options.  I’m not sure why some people on this thread feel the need to defend a design flaw in a Nikon lens. I am a Nikon shooter and I have a lot of Nikon lenses as ...

They are an authorized Nikon dealer in the US.  I don’t find anything else broken about it.

Yes I would call it a design flaw since I have not had that problem with my Sigma 70–200.  I will tighten it with a pair of pliers or I will take it off I guess.  I think it’s important that other ...

Brand new so I guess I need to send it back.

Yes my lens and camera seem OK as well.  What kind of tether do you keep on as a safety leash? Thanks

It actually detached twice.  The first time I was sitting down so I was able to catch the camera and lens.  The second time I was walking with it on the strap and that’s when it broke the hood.  I ...

Thanks yes I bought a new hood from adorama.  I thought it was likely a design flaw because I see in Asia and that they sell a lot of third-party feet for this lens.  Yes the latch definitely does ...

So the release button is very loose and wiggly so it’s possible something moved it but the black knob was tightened down as hard as I could get it. Never had this problem with my Sigma 70-200. Yes ...

Anyone else had this issue? Dropped my brand new lens and camera from my hip and cracked the hood because of this. Argh. Hand tightened both knobs as tight as I can get them but I can still ...

Yes learned that lesson. Enjoying my new lens instead.

Yeah I sent the refurbished one back and ordered a new one from B and H. Lesson learned.

Well that was the wrong decision! The lens arrived today and I put it on my D500 and immediately noticed that the focus ring was ridiculously stiff and would get stuck at like 40 mm and then at ...

This is a favorite lens of sports photographers particularly my sport of equestrian and especially the newest sports version. One of the reasons I have a hard time finding a decent used one to ...

Thank you all. You have expressed the range of thoughts that I have had. It is Nikon refurbished. I was not familiar with Roberts Camera so hearing that they are a reputable dealer helps me and I ...

Save $400-$500 and buy Nikon refurbished lens from Roberts Camera or just cough up the extra 500 bucks and buy it new?

I have the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and the images lose sharpness with the TC on. They aren’t bad per se but softer so I don’t use it often. I rented the Nikon 300 f2.8 and it is an amazing lens but like ...
