Tokina 11-16mm Focus Ring jams?

_gl — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 09:18:08 +0000

I've got the old Tokina 11-16mn "DX" version (silver markings) and just bought a new DX II version (gold).

On the new one, the focus ring gets frequently stuck when pulling it to MF, I'd say about 1/8 times. It basically sometimes doesn't pull down all the way in one place, and then locks the whole mechanism (AF motor isn't disengaged). If you then try to turn it, it fights the AF motor. That never happens on my old DX version, but I'm on my 2nd DX II with the same problem.

Is that normal for the DX IIs or have I got 2 duff ones in a row?

Stuck Rig Part on Fotga DP500 2 Follow Focus

I've got a Fotga DP500 2 follow focus - it's very good - got it on PV deals here. It's on a rig with rails (Beginner Rig from deals as well). Problem is, if I want to switch lenses, I can't get the part that attaches to the rails to loosen up enough to slide the follow focus down the rail. The part that attaches to the rails seems to be locked on there. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hot/Stuck/Dead Green Pixel in Video Footage

I'm hoping someone has some knowledge on this problem and hopefully a solution. I've got a "green dot" appearing in all my video footage. It's in the same location and doesn't move. It's not always visible, but when panning, I'll see it if it goes over certain types of colors, focus, etc. There's also another gray/translucent dot. I've eliminated the following possible causes (different SD Cards, with or without Hack, different Lens, & different Monitor footage is viewed on.)

So I guess this is what is called a "Hot Pixel"?

How do I fix this? Thanks.

Stuck green pixels on my GH2 LCD screen.

I just purchased my GH2 new from B&H last week and it already has three visible "stuck" pixels on the LCD. Is this a common problem with this camera? I can barely notice them when just looking at the LCD, but I just got my LCDEF and when using that they are extremely obvious and it drives me nuts! This really sucks as I have too many jobs coming up this month to deal with a return. I tried everything I could find online to remove them to no avail. Any help or tips guys?
