Yep I really like that lens except that malfunction of AF. And no, I'm not shooting white walls.. But maye I just send it back to adorama and wait for new one. Thanks for help!
AF is purely a function of the body. If the lens is turning from near focus to infinity, there's nothing wrong with it; any problems would be in the body.

I have heard people report that using non nikon lenses on their nikon body opened the chance up for more seeking for one reason or another..... but I would find it very odd if a nikon lens had that problem, especially if the pictures that come out of the lens are spot on.

Very strange.
Yes I find it strange too, because my D50 doesn't have same problem with kit 18-55mm. And 50mm 1.8D has that problem only sometimes, usually it does everything right, its fast and sharp. But then out of nowhere, it just fails. In a good light with real life subjects. For me, removing filters helps a little, but it doesn't remove the problem completely anyways.
Santa was nice enough to bring me a Tokina AT-X 10-17mm Fisheye F3.5-4.5 DX for use on my D70 and D200. Too bad Head-Fi Photo is still tanked or I would be able to show you how neat this little lense is. Merry Christmas!

20-17?
Anyway you could use a image host like imageshack.us..
10mm must be really wide.
I was at my brother's place on Christmas and playing with his 17-35mm, and most of the time I'm zooming in halfway (maybe around 24mm-ish).
Now it makes me wonder whether I really need the upcoming Tokina 11-16mm. But maybe because so far my shortest lens is a 50mm prime. Hopefully I'll be able to adjust myself.
Although I must admit 17-50mm range will be much more useful considering my situation. But hard to get past ultra wide...
...Now it makes me wonder whether I really need the upcoming Tokina 11-16mm....
What do you expect from it? Is it said to be (even) better than the now ATX f 4/12-24 mm? (Which probably is the best wide-angle zoom for Nikon DSLRs.)

I just want it to be as good as the 12-24mm. The reason why I'm not getting the 12-24mm is the f/4. I need a low light performer, and someone actually mentioned that the t stop of that f/4 is probably not even an f/4. So f/2.8 is very appealing to me.
I'll see how it goes. If it's bad (hope not), I might just get Tamron 17-50mm 2.8

my D50 and 50mm f/1.8 also has the same problems. sometimes it'll just completely fail to focus where as i don't have the same problems on my other lenses unless i'm in very low light. my lens is the older non-"D" version but i don't think that's why has trouble focusing especially since metering isn't done through the lens.
