I have a Tokina 50-200 zoom that had the same problem. It was caused by
twisting the lens too far when mounting it, because the little screw that
kept the lens from turning too far fell out and got lost. Mine was repaired
by Garland Camera & Repair in Garland, Texas for $72. $70 for the standard
lens repair fee, and $2 for fabricating a new coupling lever.
