Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S VR - Occasional Rare Glitch/Issue

15 Feb

Written By MJ

Last October, I traded in my 70-200mm f/2.8E and FTZ adapter for this lens, and have been happy with its performance - it’s as sharp or sharper than my E lens, but with better bokeh rendering.

However last December, during one of my assignments, I had encountered a weird/rare glitch, where my image in the finder would be jumping all over the place, as though the VR system was having issues.

But after a couple power off/on cycles and zooming the lens, the issue seem to have disappeared and I continued shooting as usual.

While I can’t force a reproduction of this issue, it seems to pop up every now and then (say, on average once per 5000 shots or so?), usually when my lens is set to 70mm when I boot up the camera.

Just wanted to put this out here to see if anyone has encountered similar issues.
