I got this on ebay a little while back. From what I've seen it is a Tokina.

Mods tell me if this not not allowed please--because I've wanted to teach myself to shoot videos, I started making short video reviews of old lenses, and this little preset one is one of them ones I've done so far. Check out the review here:

I enjoy images shot with nondescript lenses. Shows the photo is made by the person holding the camera. Nice work Juan.

Thanks guys!

I have too many old lenses, and wasn't using them. With the pandemic making street photography not as fun as it used to be, I decided to start doing these reviews. It forces me to use one lens for a few weeks. In the meantime I'm learning how to shoot and edit these little videos.

My reviews are subjective btw, I am more interested in how a lens or its images feel to me than how sharp it is. Or, rather: sharpness is just one more thing that a lens can be good for.

Haha yes! I live in the peninsula but I often go to Pacifica, and do a lot of my lens testing at that pier. If you see a pale green/olive VW Westfalia with a bike hanging in the back say hi, that's me Smile
