As the rig was mounted by means of a cheaply bought copy of an ARCA -SWISS coupling , I managed to trip the tripod , yet , hastly prevented it from toppling over when the cheap knock-off lost its make-belief grip ,and the rig bounced on the wooden kitchen floor....
The world had come to a standstill...and in a flash , Eric`s " tale of woe " of his 24-70 on a D3 that were sailing down some stairs came to mind....as in a nightmare I carefully inspected my precious, and all seemed to be fine...after a coffee sipped with trembling hands, I resumed the testing, and the photo`s are good !!...what seemed to be a problem was no more.
Later on, I remembered having read somewhere that VR can get Stuck, and when that happens , quality is Impaired, the remedy is then to tap the lens gently, yes, I had suspected that being possible as I had bought the 24-70 second hand, and have been tapping the 24-70 , but without any difference to see.
But a Severe Tumble on a wooden kitchen floor has done the trick it seems ,yet I sincerely hope that not ever to happen again.
It is something that I do not wish on even the worst of an enemy.
