Hi everyone.
I've been going through a bag of old photography gear that was left to me by a relative. There's some interesting pieces, including an immaculate Nikon FE which I'm tempted to keep to play with. But, on that body was the Tokina AT-X 28-85mm lens.
I'm not yet able to post pictures to the forum so I'm going to have to try to explain the issue in words... But when I zoom the lens in as much as possible, there's a gap between the front barrel of the lens and the main body of the lens which connects to the camera body. It certainly lets light in, and exposes a brass part of the lens and the void between the glass lenses too. Is that normal?
Does my description even make sense?
I'm grateful for any guidance you can give - thank you so much.
