WTH is going on? My question, posted under the CANON lens, is getting replies for CANON AND NIKON!

Amazon mixes reviews because it is considered the same item, even if it has a different camera mount. It's stupid in my opinion because I have noticed on some lenses that all the low reviews will be for one manufacturer and all the high reviews will be for a different manufacturer. This tells me that the bad reviews are due to a compatibility issue with that particular manufacturer and if that's not the camera I own it's safe to ignore them. And for the record, I am answering this on a Nikon lens page "Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 AT-X 124 Pro DX II Lens - Nikon Mount"

I think may be a grey market product and not covered by USA Nikon. That is what happened to me when I went to register it. However the seller may warrant it. Ask before you buy. Good luck.

check out dpreview.com in the Nikon forum. Seems like all cameras thru #3114394 have the defect. I think this represents ~2.5 months' worth of sales, *plus* whatever is in the inventory pipeline.

I think you are right here. I don't believe it is a lens problem as I have see this problem across a couple of lens. I did two things that seem to make a different, the first was I completely reset all the camera setting and second thing I did was up grade the camera fireware from version 1.0. 4. to version 1.0. 9. This seems to have made a difference.

Same here. It's pretty clear that the 18-135 STM movie kits are very, very scarce, if not non-existant. Lots of speculation about manufacturing problems, etc. Also just quite possible that Canon jumped the gun on allowing retailers to take orders without an adequate supply, and they didn't anticipate such high demand. One dealer in Hong Kong is claiming to offer them right now, and that's about it.You can't even buy the lens or the movie kit from Canon directly right now.

Nikon sucks...mine had a lens issue just after 30 days...had to send for repair and it took nearly 2 months to get it back. Then that lens died 9 months later..conveniently out of warrenty...and it would cost $100 to fix it! I bought a Canon...

I too have been waiting over a month with no end in sight. I have missed most of the summer and am getting very annoyed with Amazon's system. I am now wordering if Nikon is coming out with a new model (D60) as they are doing with the D80? Since the summer is almost gone I will wait a little longer for the camera but will think very hard about purchasing expensive items from them in the future without a firm shipping date.

The portrait problem is real. I just returned a copy of this lens to Amazon because images were very fuzzy in portrait orientation as 300mm was approached. This happened with IS on or off. It seems to be related to mechanical droop of the front barrel which greatly extends as you zoom out. The lens feels cheaply constructed and there is sloopiness in the front barrel. Canon knew about this defect for 9 months but continued to produce these defective lenses while refusing to acknowledge any problem at all. Now that the problem is widely known and likely cutting into sales of this lens they are finally fessing up to the problem and working on a fix. The portrait problem is real.

I have a Cannon T2i. I ordered a lens that was a wide lens for at Cannon. The lens you sent, is not for a Cannon. To top this off, it was a Christmas Present, and was not opened until Christmas. My embaressment. Because your advertizement said it was for a Cannon T2i, wide lens. I need my refund please.

I see you're getting various answers. I also did what you are trying to do. The best advice I can give you is to contact Canon & ask them. That's what I did & they got me on the right track. Lots of luck.

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:

I had the same problem, because this model is too similar with the compatible canon model. This lens is "designed specifically for APS-C sized sensors and Sigma SA Lens Mount" as is advertised (anyway, this very important fact should be more visible than it is)

What ever site you saw that on has no idea what they are talking about. I have this lens, I have this camera, they play along very nicely!

This has been available for Canon & Nikon for MONTHS now, WHAT IS GOING ON??? (Not amazon's fault, it's just not available anywhere).

Although I have never had this problem with this lens, I have seen it before with other lenses. My first thought is that the electronic contacts between lens and camera aren't working properly. They may simply be dirty - try wiping them off with a clean rag. The contacts may also be misaligned where the lens meets the camera, maybe because of something getting in the way or a faulty mount on the lens or camera. I think dirt on the contacts is most likely the cause.

Hahaha. Oh Dan-you're so pithy. Hahaha. No, seriously. I wouldn't know the answer except to advise you to visit the Canon website/FAQs. I'm just venturing a guess that they should be able to help you because they made the machine. Keep smiling and keep making people laugh. Thanks for tonight's giggle.

Hi Michael, for some reason I've returned this item...Not because of having any trouble! I've decided to but real macro lens instead of using something like that just because of quality of the image with the Nikon macro lenses. Sorry
