Broken Tokina 12-24 (Grey Import)

[Amp34]

I have a Tokina 12-24 f/4 here that looks like it has an aperture issue (error 99 below f/5.6 then stopped entirely).

Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can get it repaired. I've heard in the past that the official repair company may not touch it if it is a grey import, which I think mine is (bought it off someone here a few years ago).

Also has anyone had the same problem with this lens, if so was it fixable and worth the cost?

EDIT: I'm in/near London if there are any walk in locations there.

Thanks

Contact Kenro for the address of the repair company that they outsource to. That's probably your best bet to get it serviced locally. Neither Kenro or nor Tokina EU will accept the lens for repairs even if you intend to pay them.

Thanks, I'll definitely get in contact with them about it, however has anyone else had experience with dealing with this?
