Hi Smity, The MF version of this lens isn't very highly rated by Bj¸rn R¸rslett, I struggled to find a reference to the AF version. I eventually found the lens info here:

http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html#28-xx

It doesn't sound right to me. It's an old lens (last made in 1999) and it sounds like there is either something broken or badly worn inside. If it's been dropped the internals may be damaged. They can be very fragile.

I hope you didn't part with too many $$ for it.

I would try to return it. You may be able to stop the PayPal payment if you used PayPal. Cite not functioning as it should due to excessive wear in a precision optic?

Keep us posted on the outcome.
