Faulty Nikon lens in the mail

I discovered the 55-200 Nikon zoom I bought for Christmas is not working properly. The autofocus is not functioning. I e-mailed Nikon & was informed of their online return form the also provides a return shipping for products under warranty. I took the lens to a local camera shop & had the shop owner try it on another D40X body. No dice, the lens doesn't work. I filed out the online form, printed up a copy of my sales receipt & sent it off via UPS. Let the waiting game begin.

I did manage to pick up a second circular polorizing filter, choosing a medium priced price. I could never justify the $150 pricetag on the Nikon polorizer.

Re: Faulty Nikon lens in the mail

Funny you should mention that, as the autofocus on my 18-55 Nikon lense has stopped working. So annoying.
