I have a 55-200 lens for my Nikon d5100. however sometimes when I try to zoom in on things the lens seems to get stuck and I cannot focus, if I do it manually it seems ok and then will work for a while in auto mode, anybody had that problem and if so how did you fix it.

I assume you have cleaned the contacts on the lens and the camera

yes i had the camera is new and the lens came from a Nikon D50, maybe I did not clean the contacts on the lens good enough, thanks for reply.

If that doesn't work reset the camera in the menus to factory defaults

Call Nikon, they might know something about their lenses.

Of course they will, they will say, send it back !

Best to see for yourself first, you also learn by doing it
