Hello Jay, Not sure which one you got, but mine has been wonderful. I have many nice shots from it. Mine is labeled Tokina AT-X AF400 Close Focus around the distance scale and then a red SD with a red stripe around the hood.
The shot indicates yours is a nice lens. Have a great time with it. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, February 13, 2006, 8:12:51 AM, you wrote: JT> Having a recent interest in wildlife subjects, I decided to pick up a JT> telephoto lens for my DSLR.
