I don't have the Tokina> Chuck, but the nuts certainly sound good if you
need to dispose of them!
And for any looking for the similar Tamron SP 80-200/2.8, I spotted one
languishing in a dealer's display in Glasgow - in excellent condition.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out. I don't suppose many of you have a
Tokina 80-200/2.8 but the plastic lid from a can of Blue Diamond Smokehouse
Almonds (6 oz I think) makes a nice fit over its lens hood (77mm screw in).
It even looks nice. It's red with no markings.
