Does anyone know anything about these Tokina lenses:
Tokina 35-70/2.8 ATX
Tokina 35-70/4 SZ
i have found an ad from a seller that has Tokina 35-70 for sale, for a small amount, and claims that he is a totally ignorant when lenses are in question, he doesn't know how to read maximum aperture from the lens, doesn't even know for what camera this lens is. I'll go and see it tomorrow and if it is by any chance Nikon mount, I might consider buying it.
I'm curious about what reputation each of these lens have? is there an autofocus Tokina 35-70? ATX? f2.8 or f4 or f3.5-4.5? the price is really ok, I don't know what to expect and it will be evening with not a lot of chance to try the lens in low lights. to avoid? good quality? _________________ Nikon D70, Zenitar 16/2.8 FE, Super Takumar 50/1.4, Jupiter 9 85/2, Elicar 90/2.5 Macro, CZJ Sonnar 135/3.5, Jupiter 11A 135/4, Pentacon 200/4.

SZ is amateur model and ATX is pro model, right? are both manual, or is there AF ATX 35-70/2.8? _________________ Nikon D70, Zenitar 16/2.8 FE, Super Takumar 50/1.4, Jupiter 9 85/2, Elicar 90/2.5 Macro, CZJ Sonnar 135/3.5, Jupiter 11A 135/4, Pentacon 200/4.

In the review (1986) it is the tokina 35-70 f4 SMZ who is older than the tokina 35-70 f2.8AT-X. Both manual lenses.
Search on ebay, you will find lot of tokina 35-70 manual & AF starting at 5 euros

it turns out I didn't read the ad carefully. it IS AT-X version. that means f/2.8. if it turns out to be for Nikon, I'll take it. the price is nice.
any links on photos taken with it? _________________ Nikon D70, Zenitar 16/2.8 FE, Super Takumar 50/1.4, Jupiter 9 85/2, Elicar 90/2.5 Macro, CZJ Sonnar 135/3.5, Jupiter 11A 135/4, Pentacon 200/4. CZJ Sonnar 300/4 Nikkors: 20/2.8 AF-D, 50/1.8 AF, 105/2.5 Ais, 80-200/2.8 AF-D, TC-16A |

I came across mention of this lens last week; story is that the glass was designed by Leica and Tokina carried on producing it (either under licence or not, or maybe the patent ran out), but the later Pro 2.8 version was a modification of the design by Tokina, which is every bit as good as the original.
Whatever; it's an internet story, so it might not be true _________________ Dave - Moderator

I don't know and I don't recall what forum I read it on. Dig around with google and it will come up.
Here's a snippet I found... http://leica-users.org/v03/msg03320.html
I was partly right, and there was a Leica link, but not to the lens - only the forum.
Looks like the 35-70 isn't the one in question, but the 28-70.
http://www.planetnikon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7549
Rumour and speculation seem to fuel it. The original post I came across seemed to say the original 35-70 design was the one that was replaced by the 28-70 with Angenieux links. So, in summary, I don't know if the 35-70 you have your eye on is any good or not. Opinions seem to vary on it. _________________ Dave - Moderator

dissapointment.
the lens in question is indeed Tokina ATX 35-70/2.8 in fairly good condition priced only 25 Eur, but FOR MINOLTA MD mount, and thus completely and utterly useless for me. _________________ Nikon D70, Zenitar 16/2.8 FE, Super Takumar 50/1.4, Jupiter 9 85/2, Elicar 90/2.5 Macro, CZJ Sonnar 135/3.5, Jupiter 11A 135/4, Pentacon 200/4.
