<p>Coming home from the everglades I got stuck on the wrong side of US1. All East West streets where blocked as a motorcycle run from Miami to the Keys was underway. With nothing but to wait I grabbed a camera and lens out of my truck to make the wait easier. The name of the event was "Cops ride for kids" and there was thousands of bikes. I got lots of good shots but I never seen this bike called a T Rex before which I thought was a pretty cool looking bike. So here it is.<br> Thanks for looking.<br> D300 w 70-200 vr1</p> <p><img src="http://www.slopoki1.com/Events/Cops-Ride-For-Kids/i-NDKxqTj/0/M/D30_0547-M.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>I have used a d300 w 300/4 afs and tc-14e for years and hardly ever had a af issue ( af would stop working and reseating the tc would correct it).<br> So I got a D7100 and mounted the 300 w tc and it does not focus unless I reseat the lens numerous times and then it might work for a few frames. If I use the 300 without the TC it works fine. Same thing on the D7000 no focus with TC but lens works fine alone.<br> I have cleaned all contacts and that didn't help.<br> It seems there's a commutation problem between the three parts but I'm not sure where. <br> I do not have another afs lens or TC-14e that I could use to see if it worked on the D7000 of D7100 <br> On the D90 the 300 with TC-14E works fine.<br> I’m wondering if it’s the TC, lens or cameras.<br> Anybody have a similar issue using the 300 w 14e on the D7000 and D7100 or has a cure short of sending all of it to nikon<br> Thanks</p>
