Zoom lens error #E 18. Is this a valid complaint?

There are some new ultra zooms the Nikon P90 24x, Olympus SP-590UZ and the Kodak Z980 24x. I really like the swivel LCD on the SX10 though. Do you have any issues with purple fringing in high contrast shots??

I used this lens for one year until yesterday without any problems. Just yesterday I am experiencing the same issue: quite focus hunting when zoomed out at 70+ and when it stops it is not on focus! Any idea?

Well, as far as I know, this lens doesn't have any electronics... So it's not supposed to be 'Recognized' by any camera as such... You're supposed to use it manually.Check your camera manual for ways to disable the error message with manual lenses.

call Canon customer service ... I spoke with them when I was looking at this lens .. excellent support. Good luck.

I had the same issue and they tried to tell me that it was a result of impact too. Not true. They wanted to charge $100 to tix but finally agreed to fix. I am disappointed and frustrated with the experience. There is a problem that is causing lens error. Beware. Otherwise the camera takes great pix.

Your sensor might be dirty - this requires professional cleaning. The battery would have nothing to do with it. Your lens might be set to MF (manual focus) on accident too!

I would ask for a full refund. As the unit has a corrector lens on the focusor... so therefore... youre not even getting the full 6 inch apeture.

Went on a trip with my new D50 and it stopped working after 5-6 pictures. Showed an error message. When I got back home I decided to read the book. Seems the lens slipped out of F22 to F16. Rotating the F-ring back to F22 fixed the problem. Ignorant me. Since then I try to only purchase lenses with a little snaplock on the f-ring. Problem solved.

I used a Square Trade Warranty for my Canon ($19.95 for three years) and they promptly paid over what the camera is even worth today. I didn't have the so-called lens error, it just wouldn't hold a charge after a year or so. The warranty can be found with all sorts of special deals (percentages off, etc). They DO pay into your PayPal account if that's a problem. I was surprised at how professionally they handled it.

Yes I have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with the lens. It is a third party lens and is totally manual. Flip your camera to manual mode and adjust your settings. The camera will fire is this mode.

I don't know. I had a specific requirement and researched to see if the lens would work. I was lucky it did in my case.

I don't know why this mail was directed to me. I never have had one in my hands.I just have a D40+18-200mm (GREAT combination) and (unfortunately) a D600 with a green tint that I will return if it does not cure itself (a pun, but technically appropriate)

Maybe due to focal length they are classifying it as fixed zoom but I would disregard. Focal length is equivalent to 45mm on FX.

My lens has a Focus motor but I have a Canon version. So I don't know about Nikon's errors.

Honestly, I have not ideas. I'd think there could some small particle may have got into zoom section of lens and prevent the cover shutter from closing. the camera reports the error because of it.I just slide in a piece of thin plastic paper around "trying" to clear things up ,and lightly tap the lens while extending & extracting the lens. somehow, that cleared the problem by luck. but I really don't know how long it will last though.
