Tokina 300 f2.8 ATX on a D2H

[ralph_wilson]

<p>I have requested an answer to this from Tokina, however, their ONE

customer

service rep is out of the office until March 1st.</p>

<p>I hoped someone here might have an answer to this.</p>

<p>I have a Tokina 300mm f2.8 ATX lens. It is completely compatible

with the

Nikon D1H and works flawlessly but will not focus or communicate

aperture

readings with a D2H.</p>

<p>Does anyone know for sure if the lens can be re-chipped to work

with the D2H?</p>

Ralph, ultimately you're going to have to talk to this guy at THK, whether we know the answer or not. By the way, he's a very nice and helpful guy.

 

At any rate, since they're still producing a 300mm f2.8, I'd be very surprised if they couldn't rechip yours. However, I do not know the answer for a fact, so just take what I say as encouragement until March. Good luck!

I've used mine on D100, D70, D1H, F100, N65. No reason why it shouldn't work with a D2H. Havent heard of any problems with this lens. Third party lens electronic incompatability is more a canon thing. Although one time I discovered that a 400 5.6 tamron (i think it was tamron) didn't work with the digital bodies.
