My Nikon 18-300mm ED DX suddenly no longer mounts to my D5500. White dots lined up, lens mount/unmount button depressed camera body turned off. I do not want to force the turn for it to click and lock... I've never had this problem with a lens before.

I just found the issue, upon closer examination of where on the ring it was not seating, ONE slightly loose screw! Hope this helps someone else!

    I was just about to post the same solution, so I've added a photo marking the loose screw. – Tetsujin Jul 09 '22 at 16:10
  • It’s perfectly fine to accept your own answer. – Eric S Jul 10 '22 at 01:37
  • @EricS but there is an enforced delay before you are allowed to do so - 48 hours IIRC – osullic Jul 11 '22 at 11:04
  • Lol, assuming you are being funny... but if not and I did break a rule.. .lol and I'm sorry ;) – Tonya Moon Jul 12 '22 at 22:25
  • @TonyaMoon nobody's being funny - that's just how this site works. The site is here to answer your questions, but also to help other people with the same issue. A repository of questions and answers. If there are mutiple answers, and one is accepted as the correct answer, that benefits everyone - easy to spot the correct answer amongst other suggestions.

  • Okay, so technically I needed to wait 48 hours to supply the answer because I posted the question. Makes sense now. My apologies, it was not intentional. GREAT site and service! – Tonya Moon Jul 16 '22 at 17:15
