<p>@Bob, @Chuck<br> Thank you for your detailed descriptions as well as links to get ideas from! Some great clicks on the sites! Thank you for sharing!</p>

<p>@John: Thank you for the detailed response! With my short trip I doubt I will do a lot of hiking. I had to squeeze the trip between my work trips as I was going to be in the area, hence the short trip. The detailed description of the mountains makes me want to leave work right now and head out! But alas, I have to work to be able to afford the trip :)<br> @Rob: Thank you for your input. I'm thinking of renting a telephoto lens for the trip.<br> @Len: I'll be sure to plan around these locations as well.<br> I can already see myself jumping out of my car, taking photos and then hopping back to drive to the next spot. Now I really wish I had planned better for some more days around the park.</p>

<p>@David: Thank you for those locations. I'm going to spend the next month reading up on a lot about the park!<br> @Shun: Thank you for your advice on the lenses. I'll try to get a rental for the wide angles that you recommended. If not, then the 18-55 will have to do :) As for wildlife shots, I intend to use a tripod and remote for sitting / lazing animals. Not sure if I'm going to get a lot of them in motion.<br> @Peter: Thank you for your suggestions on the Grand Tetons. I've seen some photos and they are awe inspiring!</p>

<p>Hello! I consider myself as an amateur with lots to learn about photography.<br> In June, I plan to visit Yellowstone, armed with a Nikon D3200, a 18-55mm, a 55-200mm lens, lens filters (UV, circular, ND4, ND variable) and a tripod. I will be spending 2 days near Jackson Lake and 3 days at the Yellowstone Park.<br> Are there any favorite locations that the forum could suggest?<br> Given the vast landscape of Yellowstone, I would like to capture more of the landscape in my photos. Is there a lens (wide angle) that I should use to capture landscapes or will the 18-55 do just fine? Any other equipment that would help?</p>

<p>I have received my D3200 after Nikon US serviced it under warranty! It seems to be working fine. I will test it over the weekend and hopefully should not have any further issues.<br> Thank you all who participated in the discussion and guided me along the way. I'm glad I came across this forum :)</p>

<p>Thank you all for your response - in removing the lens as well as getting Nikon to service it. Nikon USA has agreed to repair it under warranty (after contacting their customer service department)!</p>

<p>I bought it from BestBuy during their Black Friday sale. As I had not purchased a GeekSquad protection, they said that I needed to send it directly to Nikon :(<br> If Nikon does not fix it, I'll be the first in 3 family generations to not use a Nikon going forward.</p>

<p>Thank you Shun. I just wrote to them and am awaiting their response. Moreover, I'm fuming right now and am not in the best shape to speak to a manager. Great advice though. I will call them in 48 hours if they respond with the same answer.</p>

<p>Just heard back from Nikon USA. They want me to shell out $170 for a problem that should be covered under warranty!!! That too for a product that is less than 3 months old! I had read bad reviews about Nikon but unfortunately, now am facing it myself.</p>

<p>Thanks Richard! Your comment makes me feel much better :)<br> Did Nikon fix your issue under warranty or did you have to pay for it?</p>

<p>@Paul: I'm happy that the lens came out! Surprised though, as this is a new D3200 I bought in December, it should not have these issues.<br> @Matt: I'll be sure that I do not put another lens on it, which means that I have to go back to my Coolpix till this is fixed. I'll be shipping it out to Nikon and hope (fingers crossed) that it is covered under warranty. It should not be giving a problem especially if it is just 2 months old. <br> Will keep you guys posted once it gets fixed. Thank you once again for assisting with the removal of the lens! I'm glad I came across this forum!</p>

<p>@Tim: The lens and body were separate and I have been attaching with 2 of my lenses for a few months. They were detaching until this weekend.<br> @Matt: The white mounting dot on the lens is under the K as you mentioned. Also, the release button seems to be going all the way in. I tried and wiggled it a lot, finally the lens is OUT!!!<br> THANK YOU!!!! Tim, Steve & Matt!<br> I think that the release button spring is stuck. When I press the release button, the pin does not move into the frame. Hope this is covered under warranty by Nikon.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks for confirming Steve. Let me try it once again and see if it works. I fear that a lot of pulling and tugging might eventually damage the lens or the body. As far as I could feel it, it felt like it was glued on to it!<br> Fingers crossed. Will update if something works out.</p>

<p>Appreciate your response Tim!<br> Yes, when I press the lens release button on the camera body, the lens won't rotate to the position that it needs to be in to remove it. The lens does not move clockwise or anti-clockwise with or without pressing the release button.<br> Yes, LOL, I am clicking the button marked by the arrow to release it. It still is stuck :(</p>

<p>Good day! I have a Nikon D3200 camera that was recently purchased on Black Friday. It seems as though my 55-200 mm lens has got stuck and will not detach after pressing the release button on the camera body. It still clicks photos and I do not see any error messages on my screen. However, the lens being stuck is somewhat of an inconvenience and limits me from changing lenses if required.<br> Is this something that can be fixed easily or do I need to send it to Nikon?</p>
