A Defective Tokina AT-X 116 PRO 11-16mm Lens

I ordered a Tokina AT-X 116 PRO 11-16mm Lens for my customer few days ago.

As usual, I check every unit of lens before sending out to my customer. To my dismay, I found the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO 11-16mm Lens that I received on 13th March 2008 (Thursday) is defective. There are some defect or weird pattern on the front element coating. I showed it to my wife and she agreed on the “butterfly” pattern.

The defect is actually quite hard to notice, unless you put it under the correct light angle.

The photo below is under a slightly different angle (see the lens hood angle is different), and you can’t really see or detect the “butterfly” defect:

Here’s a closeup of the butterfly:

For me, it is NOT acceptable, though unlikely the defect is going to be shown on the final image.

Since my customer trusted on me on getting a good copy of Tokina lens, so I always put myself in my customer’s shoe. If I have to pay $$$ for a lens, I would expect it to be “perfect” or “near perfect”. Since I can’t accept this kind of defect myself, so I rejected the lens and returned it to my supplier. I shall receive a replacement on Tuesday or Wednesday.

My apologize to my customer for the delay of delivery by extra few days… :(

Yes, I sell the lens at ShaShinKi.com. The Tokina AT-X 116 PRO 11-16mm Lens can be ordered at:

Birthday cake…Megumi @ 9 months

I went to buy two pieces of birthday cake “for” Megumi on 14th March 2008, celebrating her 9 months birthday as promised.

I went to a few stores, all have their cakes sold out. Later only I knew 14th March was the Japanese men’s valentine day…so all women went out and bought all the nice cakes for their love one.

So…now big round cake and I have to settled on the small cut cakes. Since Megumi is still not allowed to eat the cake…so nevermind lah… :P
