bengt_ljungkvist1 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 <p>HI!<br> I have an older, but nearly unused Nikkor AF 70-210mm telephoto lens for an F60 Nikon analogue body.<br> Now, that I plan to use it as an accessory for my Nikon D80, I cannot twist the zoom ring the slightest!<br> What has happened? Am I doing something wrong? I do not want to try to force the ring. Has anybody<br> any suggestions?<br> Best regards<br> Bengt</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis_g Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 <p>Put it in manual focus?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_poel Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 <p>That won't help the "zoom ring" Luis - you're thinking of the FOUCS ring.<br> But I don't have a suggestion. :(</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl_becker2 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 <p>Put the lens so that the sun can warm it up. It may be frozen from lack of use and sometimes a bit of heat can help. Try to work it gently after warm.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart_van_der_borst Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 <p>Isn't the 70-210 AF a push-pull zoomlens?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl_becker2 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 <p>Well that is good. Just lack of use! Now go take some pics and knock the dust off. I enjoyed using one for a while.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengt_ljungkvist1 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 <p>Thanks all!<br> I will try the "warming up" approach, even though it is more of a mechanic stuck feeling. Nevertheless it is worth a try.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleys Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 <p>I don't have mine anymore, but i'm pretty sure the zoom was push - pull, not twist.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
