Only the MkII version of this lens has an autofocus motor built in, the MkI relies on a motor in the body of some Nikon AF SLRs to autofocus. The D70 does not have an inbuilt AF drive motor, so if you have the MkI lens then you can only use it in manual focus mode on your camera.

Most likely something bad has happened. It out of warranty, usually its 5 years. This is a pro job, getting to anything inside a lens is a very special job. There are a number of places to send it out. Check http://www.acecam.com/srindex.html and write to one or two of the places for estimates. It could be $150 or more plus shipping and taxes. A new one is about $400+, you could check around the many on-line camera stores for a used one. Could be a simple electronic part or the iris blades are bad.

hi...The transmission system that moves the lens in and out has a problem with it's gears. There is most likely a gear or an actuator that has fallen out of alignment and is getting stuck at a certain point as the lens comes in/out.There is some disturbacnce of the lens arrangement that is preventing the lens from coming in/out.Any of these symptoms above could trigger the camera to shut itself off to protect itself from further damage. thank u rate me!!!

hello, here's a link to the user manual for your canon a95

If such a thing exists, it would be on eBay or Froogle. However, that is so wide, I doubt a lens hood exists for it, as it would cause a lot of vignetting.

Bill,
Your depth of field will be reduced, but that may be what you are after and the results are fantastic for portraits. The focus will be tight in a smaller area - You don't have to go that far, but you'll have to slow down your exposure time in combination with the upping the ISO (you are shooting with a digital camera correct?) test that out on some images to see if that helps out.

A: Your local (specialist) camera shop should be able to look at that for you. But it could be that nothing is wrong and you would be wasting your time because:

B: Searching through other forums, it seems that Tokina's official stance is that it is not designed for digital cameras. eg www.dyxum.com/reviews/lenses/reviews.asp?IDLens=182

Hey harleymomma,
If the d70 is set to AF-S mode focus has to be achieved for the shutter to be allowed to take the photo. In some exposure modes the aperture must be locked down on the smallest aperture. I would also make sure the contacts are clean that allow communication between the body and the lens. Of course you need to make sure the body and the lens are set to autofocus. If none of this works I would have it looked at by an authorized service technician. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Allan

Barrel distortion like you describe can always be a problem, especially at ultra-wide focal lengths like yours at 12mm. Some of this can be compensated for in software... Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Elements do a reasonable job, IMO, Bibble Pro (www.bibblelabs.com) does even better, especially with the 3rd party plugins like Percy perspective correction. These are things we have to live with when we have smaller sensors and ultra-wide angle lenses. There is nothing wrong with your lens, you will probably find that this distortion is minimized if you use a longer focal length (say 14mm) and/or stop down the lens a bit.. try f8, wide angle lenses have huge depth of field.

B&H Photo/NYC has them in stock: B and H

Unless you have extensive experience, this is best left to professionals. If you didn't spend much, then you could "learn" on it, but if it is something you really value...don't do it.

if your not a trained qualified tech,never try to open your lens,you may spoil it all, since you need refocusing.

Free version does not require activation, but unsure if that will work for you. Web site specifically states there is not any activation code and not supported. All of its software is "free, freeware, shareware, full version, trial, demo or open-source" https://www.download.hr/software-digital-tv-2050.html
