HI All, I notices something interesting about F stop display and how one of my lenses reacts to it. It's Tokina 35-300 4.5-6.7. At the long end (300) where it's supposed to be 6.7 it always only goes to 5.6. Regardless on which body - Elan (original), RT or 1n. Only 1n is the body where F stops can be adjusted to either 1/3 or 1/2. Furthermore - When this lens is at 300mm, wide open and displays on camera body 5.6 instead of 6.7, and I look inside the lens from the front, while holding the DOF button, - I can actually see that at that 5.6 it is wide open and when I switch to 6.7 - the advertised F stop it's supposed to be on the long end - I can actually see that blades move to close it down a bit. All this makes it look like it's a 4.5-5.6 lens. not 4.5-6.7. So, - the question is - is this lens really 5.6 at the long end and not 6.7 like Tokina says it is? Or am I lucky to get the unusual one? BTW - AF, that's supposed to not work after 5.6 - works well too at the long end. Any comments, ideas on this?
