What do you mean?

I've got one that has a fault linked to the zoom. At certain focal lengths the displayed aperture is f1, and when you take a picture, it doesn't stop down. It you were trying to use an aperture other than f4 that means underexposure in auto, overexposure in manual.

wasn't that because you dropped it tho or am I thinking of something else?

I've got a tamron 17-50 2.8 straight through which is pretty wide and a good allrounder

No, it was fucked when I got it, but as the first thing I did with it was take it big-walling I never returned it. That was a mistake. Proper wide starts at 16 word.

Anyone used the 11-16 2.8 tokina yet?

Yeah - I've got it, had a few minor niggles to start with. Had to use the focus fine tuning on my camera as the focus was slightly out on my body which a bit of a pain to get right. Apart from that it's super sharp now... great lens, it is frickin heavy though

You went big walling for longer than the 6 years that the sale of goods act covers you for this type of problem? Must have been a long route.
