Tokina 16-28 Error 1 Message on Canon 6D
Feb 22, 2017 11:28:24 #
The message says "No communication between the Lens and the Camera". It says to clean the contacts, which i have done, but no help. Has anyone had the same problem with this lens? I can return it or exchange it, so i don't know which to do. I love the lens, but don't want to get another one if it's going to have the same issue.

I suggest contacting: 1) whoever you bought it from and 2) Tokina, describe the message and what you have tried. One of them (or both) will have an answer for you. It may involve sending in the lens. Patience. /Ralph

Thanks, B&H will gladly exchange it or i can return it. I just thought maybe there was something i may be able to do without doing that and waiting for another copy.

I have both lens and body and love both. Never had a hic-up. I would exchange the glass. Good luck and I hope your are as happy as I have been. If it was a used lend I would suggest cleaning contacts of lens and body with an alcohol swab.

I had one on a 6D and had the same problem. It is a heavy lens and because of the weight, the contacts are affected by the weight. Both were stolen from me before I had a chance to remedy the problem. I must tell you, I loved the lens optically, the resolution was outstanding, but the weight is a problem.

Oh yes, i love the lens, it is optically awesome. Together with my 6D, I'm really happy. I'll try another one and see if it does the same thing, i hope not because i am really pleased and surprised at the results i get with it.
