Depending on where you are in the US. You might consider sending the
Tokina to well Tokina. I bought several weeks ago a Tokina 70-200 2.8 that
I did not inspect quite closely enough as it had some internal fogging due
I believe to grease coming off some of the internal zoom mechanism. I
contacted Tokina and they said that standard cleaning for that lens was
only $58.00 +$8.00 for shipping John Gettis
