    Nikon D80 Kit Lens - 18-135mm Problem

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>After my 18-135 lens died the second time, I was considering getting the 18-200 mm f/3.5 lens. The 18-200 focal length is very good for the vast majority of shooting situations. My friend has the 18-200 lens with no complaints. If the price is not an issue, I would recommend upgrading to the 18-200.</p>

    <p>My initial post was on Jan 19, 2007 regarding Nikon d80 - Nikkor 18-135 kit - lens failure. Well, the lens failed again. Fortunately the lens has a 5 year warranty. I purchased my camera at a Nikon authorized dealer and repair shop. I just had to show my original receipt and pay for shipping. I got the lens back in two weeks. I shot several hundred photos since then. So far the repaired lens is working OK... </p>

    I also had the same squeaking noise lens problem with the Nikon d80 - Nikkor 18-135 kit. The squeak got very loud and the lens would no longer focus within 4 weeks of purchase. I purchased it from a local authorized Nikon dealer and was able to exchange it for a new one.

     

    I did not use the camera that much and I never abused it. The only thing I can think of is cold weather may exasperate the problem (just a guess). Bottom line is there appears to be quality issues with the Nikkor DX 18-135 zoom lens.
