I have a Nikon AF Nikkor 28-200mm 1:3.5-5.6D (made in Japan), and I just realized that the zoom ring isn't super smooth when zooming and in out. Zooming feels a bit heavy, and it's not like ball bearing smooth like on some low end lenses. It's a used lense so I don't know if it's normal or not. Anyone here have the same issue with their Nikon lenses? I would suspect a smoother zooming feel for this mid ranged priced lense.
