p.1 #1 · 7D & Tokina 12-24 wiggly

Anyone had any issues shooting with the Tokina 12-24mm on a 7D? I've used the Tokina for years without issue on the following: 10D, 30D, Rebel XTi. Since I've purchased my 7D, the lens gives me errors sometimes. The camera tells me it and the lens are not communicating.It is a contact issue, especially when I'm vertical. If I wiggle the lens around, or press if firmly to the body, it will work.

Anyone know, can I get this fixed? It appears all the mounts are tight as they should be on each item. It seems more a problem with the machining of the two items that they just don't fit tight.

Any thoughts?

I don't get errors, but I also don't get very good focus with mine. Especially in low light. Worked fine on my 40D, but the 7D seems to be a different story.

I don't use the 12-24 much, and I haven't spent a lot of time trying to figure this out.

I had some problems with this combo, but it was a lens issue.
I was able to use it only wide open, at f4, it was impossible to shoot at different aperture due to the contact issue error.
It was a lens electrical problem, but it has been succesfully fixed.

I had that error message recently when using this lens on my 40D. I had to send the lens in to Tokina for repair ($120)

Thanks all. It appears that it is an issue with the Tokina lens and either the mount or some of the electronic connections. This is sort of what I figured. Thanks.
