Do you also correct the people from UK or their associated countries for spelling colour and other words the way they do?

Not everyone is as perfect as you.

You gotta remember it's hard to be humble when you is perfekt in every way . . .

It was nukuler where I grew up.

Seriously. ..Ritz was bought by Wolf (e?) camera. I don't know if any of them are still around, but it might be worth a check.

I agree that a repair is going to be as much or more than a new lens, but I also know that there are some things that, for one reason or another, we just want to keep operational...

I had forgotten about Ritz camera stores until my wife and I were doing some late spring cleaning. I came across boxes and boxes of negatives with the Ritz packaging that we had stored from some of our vacations pre-digital days. I really liked their cardboard boxes instead of the paper envelopes that most processors used. We used to have a Wolf camera store near us, but it closed a long time ago. In my early days, I did buy stuff from them. However, as I gained more experience in Nikon pro equipment, I never saw anything in there that really interested me enough to make a purchase because they were mostly a "newbie" store and sold really lower grade products that a pro wouldn't use.

I currently have an old 18-200mm lens from Nikon that is now very soft focus (loaned it to my son) and I am debating whether to spend the $250 that Nikon wants to refurbish it. I am thinking that the $250 would be better spent on the Z50 package. She, like me, wants to travel light and her D500 with a long lens is getting heavy on arthritis/rheumatoid hands.

Actually Ritz bought out Wolf camera but then they went into bankruptcy. It's now owned by CA Marketing and has a few stores plus the online site. They no longer have Quantaray in their line up so I don't think they would support it either.

I have a 70-300mm Quantaray lense that has recently stopped working in autofocus mode. Manual is fine and the images are still good, however the autofocus glitch is becoming a pain. Any help is appreciated.

What type of camera do you have?

It may be a setting in your camera too

I think I see the problem. Your lens is $40. Be happy the lens works at all

Lense is the spelling used in the UK.

No it’s not. Unless someone from the UK is also spelling it wrong.

So very sorry for my poor spelling. In the future I will try to do better.

P.S. Didn't realize you cornpone bumpkins from Carolina knew anything about spelling and grammar.

Have a blessed day!
