I've had the D7200 and a Nikon 17-55 f2.8 lens lived on it. Same lens was also used on my d80, d300, d7000. Sold all crop frame equipment then several years later picked up a d500 used at a great price. Got a 17-55 f2.8 on Amazon for $420. D500 and 17-55 is the best walk around combination available. Add a 70-200 f2.8 and don't look back. D7200 is every bit as good as the d500 in most cases.

I have the same lens, and have used it for a few years (very useful). With no problem on various Nikon bodies, no problem. maybe yours is defective. A trip to your local Nikon dealer and check out another one and compare.

My mistake. What I was trying to say is that I like to zoom during exposure sometimes for a creative effect. But the focus on this lens is also jerky and hard to fine focus manually.

What a thoughtful response. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I put the project down for a while butt now I want to start looking for another lens since I am getting ready to take a nice trip out west.
