Once bought this from Japan. I no longer have it now...  Sold it after a few months. Foolish...!!
Wish I kept it as now it can be adapted/used easily.
Looks very much like a Canon 300/2.8 L clone!!

I got into a lot of hot waters when I tried to sell it. People accused me of trying to cheat them!  I guess that non-OEM "Canon" hood did not help the situation. 
I replaced it with a Nikon mount instead.

You can see some responders' tone were harsh IMO. I know I was very inexperience seller at that time. But still, no need for that I think. |

I did read it carefully and it is confused me too. Label on lens Canon FD ATX and looks like a gray canon L lens makes anybody confuses who don't know this lens. As an independent eye I agree with members there who did found it very confusing and looks like a scam.

First, no one commented on the details I went into describing the lens and the amount of photos I supplied to show it.
Makes me think I should have kept this lens even just for its collector's value as it is a unique time in Tokina's lens making history. |

You are right Attila. I made a small lost re-selling...But at least I got a replacement very shortly after that..Still have this today. I will make a point of taking it out next summer. Thanks!

Well, it is a lesson that people really don't read these posts before asking questions.
