...Nikon confirmed I need to send it to their service centre.

Got my D7000 back from Nikon today, with clean sensor and firmware update (I'd done that - or thought I had)
Went out this afternoon with camera, 16-85 and Tamron 70-300 USD... think I got a few nice pics
But... I'm glad you've been having better experience with [url="http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/789-recent-good-and-bad-experiences-with-manufacturer-service/page__pid__7209#entry7209"]Tamron service[/url] recently, Markus, 'cos the autofocus packed in after about half an hour. Smells like the US drive has burned-out...! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
I don't think I did anything to damage it. The instructions say the focus ring turns when autofocusing (so don't prevent it moving...), but I'm not sure this one ever did move. Of course, I can't check that now!
Hey ho, another package to send off. Well, there's a saying here that these things come in threes... I'm getting my car back from repairer tomorrow (accident - now that WAS my fault) so maybe I won't have the laptop go wrong as well..! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I'll let you know how I get on with Tamron.
