Anyone notice the focus problem of Tokina 11-16mm on D80?

[TheChef]

Made an exchange (1 to 1), after some testing the focus seems to be accurate even under low lighting condition.

Will try it again this weekend

Hexlord, please show us some photos taken with the sharp copy that you are having now if you will.

I'll show you some samples via PM if you want, since I wish to maintain the privacy of the subject in the photos.

Maybe you can show me some samples of your shots in 100% too since it's hard to tell over the smaller sized photos. Cheers!

does anyone knows whether this lens has that focussing problem with D90?

D90 is a very advanced camera. I have seen others taking great pictures with Tokina 11-16mm using D80. As D90 is even more advanced, should have no problem. Tokina 11-16mm is a powerful photographic tool. I am still learning how to maximise its capabilities. Check this site out:

I have a D90 and was experiencing back focus problems (would focus too far all the time, would not even focus to infinity right). I changed the setting Center Focus Point from Normal Zone to Wide Zone, I have done multiple tests and most of the time the Normal Zone will focus too far while the Wide Zone focuses perfect almost every time.

Here are some 100% crops:

f2.8, ISO 800, 1/15th - focus point is on the penny - raw, no color adjustment, sharpening, etc

Normal Zone

Wide Zone

f2.8 ISO 200 1/2000th - focus point is on the big tree in the distance - raw, no color adjustment, sharpening, etc

Normal Zone

Wide Zone

I really don't know why it would make such a big difference...
