Neptune63 1 Posted October 23, 2019 Hi, I'm a new full-frame D850 user. I find that at the wide zoom position, the Tokina 10-17 seems to see its hood. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I've set the camera to DX mode and tried with AutoDX enabled as well. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davehicks 42 Posted October 23, 2019 You can cut off the hood. I have seen on the Tokina website that they sell this a version of this same lens with no hood for FX cameras. People have successfully cut it off themselves with a dremell tool. Alternatively if you zoom out a bit to 12-13mm it should no longer vignette on FX.

JackConnick 74 Posted October 24, 2019 You are choking a marvelous camera by using a poor lens for it. You should sell it and buy the Sigma 15FE. Overall the costs to swap them out are very low, maybe $250 or so. The 10-17 is not an FX lens, it will vignette and does not resolve anywhere near enough resolution for the D850, even in DX mode.

TimG 62 Posted October 24, 2019 I agree with Jack! Or the Nikkor 8-15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin-D 11 Posted October 24, 2019 I had this issue with my D800 as well. Swapped to Nikon 8-15 and its gone, plus that lens is alot sharper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neptune63 1 Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks everyone! I guess it's time for a new lens! How do you feel about the Nikon 8 - 15, given its cost? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimG 62 Posted October 26, 2019 I’m using the 8-15 with a D500. It’s excellent! I’m not entirely sure about the 8mm end - even on FX. Its a curious effect. But about 11mm to 15mm is highly useable and very sharp on both FX and DX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
