What about it, and why do you want it ? It is simplicity itself - attach the lens to the camera, switch on the camera, frame the subject and shoot.

THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT SPECIAL TRAINING AND TOOLS. SEND TO AUTH SERVICE CENTER OR REPLACE.

Mate I googled service manual for nikon 80-400mm f/45-5.6D ED VR and found this download The first half dozen pages are typed in Japanese but here's the link-->

CHEERS....

You need a Minolta to Canon adopter. Because the Tokina was made for the Minolta in the first place. Be aware that even with the adopter, there is a very great chance you always have to focus manually, because the lens can be fitted on the camera, but the electronics will not be compatible.
That is one of the things you almost aways lose, when using lenses from a different make.

Unless you have a lens collimator and other equipment necessary to ensure proper alignment when reassembling the lens, don't do it yourself. Take it to a camera shop and have a properly trained and equipped professional do it.

Unless you have a lens collimator and other equipment needed to ensure proper alignment when reassembling the lens, take it to a good camera shop and have a properly trained and equipped professional clean it.

Most good camera shops and even some online camera stores should be able to help you

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

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
