I have a copy of Nikkor 18-200mm VR (first gen) lens of about 3 years old. Recently I noticed that the time it takes to focus is longer/slower. Besides that there are times where pictures will "jump" when viewed through viewfinder. It will also make some noise as if some elements are shifting inside the barrel. To add on to the agony, while twisting the barrel to zoom in/out it feels, er... how should I say, resistive? It's not as smooth anymore.
Anyone with this experience before? Any idea how much roughly I expect NSC to charge me if I am to send in for service?
