It was acting weird when I was taking the shots, but it was acting like it was finding focus. And some of the shots are pretty close. But now it won't find focus at all.

Switch to the crappy kit lenses that came with the camera and there's no problem.
My lens is due to arrive back from Nikon today. Still don't know exactly what happened to it to make the AF stop working. But a few weeks and ~$110 later it's fixed.

They usually aren't very explicit, which can be kind of annoying. Glad it worked out well so far and hope it continues.

So, uh, I don't really have any "new" images. . . but I haven't posted these in this thread yet. Does that count?

Does it count if you haven't technically signed for it yet?
