Tokina Cameras - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
My Tokina 12-24mm /f4.0 for Canon got a little
One of the internal circuits on the lens got more than a little wet. How long did you let it dry before putting it on the camera (which applies voltage to the possibly still wet circuit and probably shorted it out) ?. It sounds like a trip to Tokina is in order, unless you want to start a career as a repairman yourself
Tokens focus ring jam
Unfortunately, I think this'll mean a trip to the repair shop - I certainly wouldn't advise a DIY attempt (speaking from bitter experience !)

2.Turn the camera on and push the shutter button as if you were taking a picture.
3. If you don't get the error message reattach the lens and insert the CF card.

Auto focus failure
My experience with lenses is that they either work or they don't. If it does not work "as you usually used it", then there is a problem inside the lens and not something the average photographer can repair. Lenses are quite fragile, a slight knock on one occasion can damage the inner bits which are very intricate and more so with motorised lenses. I have experienced a battery problem error message through a damaged lens housing and the battery also subsequently got damaged through short circuit inside the lens mechanism. Send it for a check-up and repairs!
Need adapter tokina 100-400 f/4.5 minolta to Canon Digital SLR
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.
How do I download pictures from my A95 Canon camera to my PC?
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa (

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.

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.
