At 5C and lower this lens no longer communicates reliably with my f90x.
I get the flashing F-- on the LCD. I've tried a 20mm 2.8 AFD under the
same conditions and found that it worked fine with the body. This leads
me to believe the 35-105 is losing contact or the CPU is malfing from the
cold. This problem occurs intermittantly and is vexxing but not crippling
to me. Nikon Cda was unable to find a problem (No fault found - suggested
I clean contacts ...sigh...) but they did not try to recreate the
conditions. Cleaned contacts and problem still occurs.
Oddly the malf occurs most frequently btw approx. 5 and -10C. Temps of
-10 to -30 result in a declining incidence of this malf. sigh...
intermittant problems are the worst.
Anyone else seen anything like this?
