I've used mine on the hot coast of South Carolina, on short hikes in piedmont NC, and have it on my tripod at home all the time for hummingbird photos. I've never had a problem, love the lens.

3 years of desert, rain forest, glacier, equatorial savannah, frigid winter, below sea level, 15,000 feet, not a hitch.

I just got mine. No problems except for minor front-focusing, paired with my D7200. I was going to fine tune this afternoon but got lazy. Tedious stuff.

Hotter than hades here and no problems. Too heavy to carry though. Its a fool-proof lens imho.

I have used mine on hot dry days in southern California and on hot humid days in Delray Beach, FL at Wakodahatchee and had no problems.
Get it fixed by Nikon. This shouldn't happen at all.

I have had mine for about 3 months, no issues at all.
From all the positive feedback here I think this story holds no water.

Perhaps Canadian ones are different.

After all these positive responses we must conclude the 3 of you just got a bad batch...bought from same place/time?

No. I rented it first with intentions to buy it if I liked it. I returned it with a letter explaining all the issues and all I got was an email stating that the lens was working properly. I decided not to buy it.

I believe the comment you got, and I quote, "all I got was an email stating that the lens was working properly", says it all.
