I don't like the sound of adding tape to a new expensive lens. Not acceptable is it really.

*shrugs* It's just a lens.

@Lilkiwiguy87 LOL a part of me agrees and a part of me says: "you wouldn't duck tape a broken part on a Lamborghini"

=) Oh well, hopefully Nikon has learned from this.

Whew! my lens was not affected either, even though I have submitted it to strong temperature changes ( I live in Mexico ) from cold (air conditioned) to hot (street) temps, but I will be much more careful about this now. Thanks for your info, great video as usual.
