Sarah, Did you buy a camera and lens? A canon camera with Tokina lens, it sounds like. Booklets for lenses usually don't contain much useful information anyhow. If you know how to put the lens on the camera, adjust the zoom setting, and the aperture, and focus manually if desired, then there's not much else to say, besides the usual "congratulations on having purchased the world's finest .. (whatever).

If you need info for the camera as well, that's another story, since there's a lot more to know. I've got a sheet with the name of a fellow who claims to have 45,661 instructions booklets in stock. His name is John S. Craig and you can reach him at john@craigcamera.com. He can even supply the text you want on-line. He charges, of course.

You could just ask us questions, of course. Especially in the meantime, to get started.
