Matt, you had me for a moment there. Especially as there was an aussie on dpreview trying to fix his own lenses. After that tutorial I feel confident to help Birddog with some of his VR lenses.

I might be tempted to use this technique on my 70-300G.

Birddog, when do our friendly Nikon execs return from Cologne?

That’s the difference between an apprentice & a tradesman.
The tradesman knows how big a hammer & how hard to hit it :shock:

Lucky man and very lucky camera person
