Thank you for sharing... you just saved me $500 + shipping and not having to ship out and wait for the repair and shipped back. The weather stripping gasket became unseated and wedged between the rear face plate, it took some time, but now appears to work just fine. Thank you again!!!

Best teaching I learn lot thanks.

So i bought the one with this issue. $300, ill follow as best i can. Thank you. If all works, you'll be responsible for myself owning a $300 perfectly functional 70/200mm f2.8G. Thank you.

this was helpful, saved me a lot of money, thanks!

Nice. I watched this video and opened my 70-200 and cleaned it of dust and dirt

Im thinking only those who already know the tools, etc. Because i didnt learn much, just watched a tear down. But not informative. But thank you.

I watched someone else do this fix the same lens and he didn't look like like he was butchering it like you. the other person looked like he knew what he was doing. and it was the same lens with a focusing problem.

Hi, hope you're alright. When the pandemic broke out and we were in isolation at home, with knowledge of photography and the assembly and maintenance of microcomputers, I decided to get to know the interior of the lenses and to remove as much fungus as possible. And so, friends came to me and it was a means of income. This 70-200mm G II model arrived in my hands. A big challenge in disassembly as it was the first time working on it. Even before the disassembly, the autofocus was already showing signs that it was going to stop, as it remained unused for a long time, accumulating a lot of fungus. Upon reaching the magnetic motor block, I felt that it was bad to turn. Something sticking, locking. However, being a new element, I was not able to disassemble the magnetic disk and the rings that hold it. Suspected corrosion. Would you have in your files, recording of dismantling the magnetic assembly of the autofocus motor? Sorry for the translation, as I'm from São Luis, Maranhão, Brazil. I would be grateful for this help, as it would be an experience to recover the piece and make the owner happy.

Hi, I am unable to attach the orange wire and I’ve broken the clip. Can you please tell me what the clip is called and how to attach it back?

does the order of those brass "rings" make a difference? they seem to be varying thickness for no reason

Do you know a store in New York or any place in EEUU that I can repair my 70-200 VR1?

Hi mate, my lens 50-500mm lens stuck at 50mm. I bought it second hand. No visible damage to the lens outer. I was told it was dropped once. Any suggestions before i do surgery please.

What size screw driver did you take off the cpu contact plate off with? I need to unscrew mine due to a drop and if you know where i can buy a cheap set it would be appreciated , thanks

Nope! I’ll have Nikon FIX mine. Thanks but no

That was scary to watch. half of the time you seem clueless. Glad it all worked out in the end.

Would this video apply to a lens that is stuck at 200mm?

When i work with my lens Nikon 70 - 200 on manual focus it makes a strange sound like there is some kind of dirt trapped inside of it , any ideas ? Any suggestions please?

Hi Davis, How to replace the front element of this lens? Thanks
