Good lens work. You nailed the focus and exposure. The background isn't ideal, but I could live with that. I might clone out the typography. But the cutoff legs don't work for me. Nevertheless, a very good effort. Paul On Feb 13, 2006, at 7:04 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated

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.
