  1. I once sent my 18-35 3.5-4.5D for service. This was more than 5 years ago. I needed to replace the chip that gives the aperture data. They called me back from Nikon and said that the internal frame was cracked and wondered if I wanted to replace it too. The cost for that was about $300, and I hadn't even noticed any problems with my lens connected to that! I declined that repair and only had the chip replaced. I can't imagine that your repair will be less than $400.
  2. <p> My cameras (D700 and D800E) worked fine with all my lenses, until I bought a 200mm f2. With that lens I had to set the focus adjustment to -20 on both my cameras. I would have set it to -21 or -22 if that had been possible. I sent the lens together with my D700 to Nikon service and got the reply that my D700 was outside specifications and a repair quotation on 600€. Needless to say I declined the offer since the resale value of the camera was less than that. I figured that my D800E required the same treatment, since it had the same problem. I'd like to point out that both my cameras worked flawlessly with all my other lenses, including the 85:1.4G. Of course I had calibrated them all and set individual focus adjustments with both cameras.<br> Finally I gave up and sold both cameras, without any bad conscience, since the buyers weren't the kind of guys who would use expensive lenses with wide apertures.<br> I replaced the cameras with a D810 that was almost spot on, and hardly required any focus adjustment with any of my lenses. My impression is that Nikon has learned and taken adequate measures to ensure the quality.<br> the lesson I learned is that I will always test any new camera thoroughly in order to detect any focus issues immediately, while it is still under warranty. </p>
