I just purchased a D3200 for my niece. The camera and 2 lenses were Nikon factory refurbished, in sealed boxes. Everything looks brand new, and the camera has just over 200 shutter actuations. The kit included the typical 18-55 and 55-200 lenses (non-VR). But here's what's odd...

1) Neither lens will autofocus on the D3200.
2) Both lenses autofocus on my D7100.
3) My lenses DO autofocus properly on the D3200 (24-120 f4 and 35mm f1.8).

My initial thought was it was the camera considering that neither lens would focus. But the fact that other lenses autofocus on the D3200, and the 2 kit lenses autofocus on the D7100, has me up in arms. I have reviewed all of the settings (AF area, A/M switch, AF assistance beam) and have cleaned the contacts on both the lenses and the camera.

Any thoughts?

Are they AF-S lenses?

those kit lenses should autofocus on all Nikon DSLRs.

Stupid question: you've checked their AF switch isn't set to manual?
-edit- scrub that last Q. just re-read and noticed that they focused on a D7100.

I don't know what it might be
