Does anyone own or have used this lens? I tried to search if someone has written anything about to this forum, but I found nothing.
I bought this lens couple of months ago for C/Y mount, and I have been pleased with it. Focal lenght is great for portraits and street photography, and the aperture 2.8 is a very nice thing to have for the whole zoom area. This lens is also very sharp at f/8.
Bokeh is the thing with this lens though. Some people will like it, others will not. At f/2.8 this lens produces very dream like, a bit soft images. You could say that objects "glow". I have found the bokeh of this lens to be beautiful, but I also understand that some would say it's bad because the picture isn't sharp. But to me, sharpness is not always everything.
A brochure of this lens Google found for me:
http://jfcampbell.us/photo/tokina.htm
I will post some sample photos for my next post. I would like to hear other user opinions of this lens too. _________________ Cameras: Contax 137 MA Quartz, Contax 139 Quartz, Canon EOS-1n & Yashica T3

Ok, so here are some sample test photos I took during the summer. Taken with Canon EOS 700D. I only adjusted some colours on photos #4 & #5, other than that the photos have not been edited. All photos have aperture 2.8, except the one where there is a man smoking his pipe - I think that one had aperture 8. I don't remember the focal lenghts for the photos.

No !!!
The following eight images were all taken (handheld) with the Tokina AT-X 60-120/2.8 wide-open at f/2.8, and were minimally processed (i.e., the 100% crops were only slightly compressed, while the large "thumbnails" were only downsized and then slightly compressed -- no edit adjustments or corrections, no sharpening, etc.):
Sunflower - 60mm - f/ 2.8 - downsized from original image -
Wreath - 60mm - f/ 2.8 - downsized from original image -
Wreath - 120mm - f/ 2.8 - downsized from original image -
Wreath - 60mm - f/ 2.8 - 100% crop from original image -
Wreath - 120mm - f/ 2.8 - 100% crop from original image -
Wreath - 60mm - f/ 2.8 - 100% crop from original image -
Wreath - 120mm - f/ 2.8 - 100% crop from original image -
The wreath images, at 60mm and 120mm focal lengths, were taken from two different distances, to keep image sizes approximately the same.
Obviously, all of these images would ordinarily benefit from some additional post-processing... _________________ Fred

Obviously, a 60-120mm lens is not much of a birding lens, but I do think that the 1:1 / 100% crops of the birds do show that the lens is capable of pretty good resolution.

Very interesting sample photos fwcetus, thank you!
Makes me wonder if my lens is in someway faulty. Though I like the soft image my copy produces at 2.8. I use it to create that dreamy looking effect on my photos when I want one.
And miran: I don't know if my copy of this lens has been modified. I haven't done it because I don't know how. The lens produces very sharp images from f/4 onward. But now that I came to look my lens more closely, it has a small dent on the lens barrel - maybe the impact the lens has suffered has moved some glass inside? _________________ Cameras: Contax 137 MA Quartz, Contax 139 Quartz, Canon EOS-1n & Yashica T3

Hi, Kimble.
Mostly I wanted to show that, IMHO, the Tokina AT-X 60-120/2.8 is reasonably sharp at f/2.8, and so I had included a few images that show that (for my copy, at least) the lens can indeed be sharp wide open -- this was primarily a response to blotafton's question. I then also added a number of images to show that the lens is even sharper at f/8, but of course that is not surprising, and in fact you said yours is sharp at f/4.
I've looked again at the reviews on the Pentax Forums ( http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/tokina-x-60-120mm-f2-8.html ), and found comments such as the following:
"The lens is sharp right from the 2.8 in the middle, corners are softer. The reason is that the portrait was built for portraits mainly. It has really dreamy bokeh, super smooth butter type bokeh." -- "Prime quality images from wide open throughout the range! (on full frame!)" -- "Very sharp in the center from wide open with very good corners. One or two stops down corners get just as sharp! Very nice rendering, with a generous sprinkle of pixie dust. Great colors. Excellent bokeh. Good contrast" -- "sharp also at f2.8" -- The lens is sharp even wide open, but gentle with skin tones and surfaces, the lens designers did a good job here. Stopped down, sharpness becomes excellent. More important even: the Bokeh is creamy and allows isolating the object with a superbly soft background blur."
BTW, I did find a thread here on MFlenses about the Tokina AT-X 60-120/2.8 at http://forum.mflenses.com/at-x-tokina-60-120-f2-8-t44079.html, which did include a few sample images, one at f/4 and the other four at f/2.8. _________________ Fred

Those are some nice samples thanks for posting. Looks like a capable lens. The photos in the link great as well.
A question to Kimble: On the photos you edited, did you turn down the clarity setting? It looks similar to that. |

Thanks for your reviews and info on what seems to be a very interesting lens.
The Pentax Forums has a very extensive catalog of lenses -- not just Pentax either. So I went over there and had a look. Yep, they have a set of reviews on this Tokina, and it scores a 9 out of 10, which is very good. Go here to read reviews and for more pics taken with this lens:

Yes, well as I said before I'm very happy with my copy of this lens as it is now. It really creates nice portraits at f/2.8 - too bad I can't put any of them here, because the people I have taken photographs of don't want them to be published.
And on the other hand, I paid only 40 euros for this lens with lens hood, so I think I got a bargain. _________________ Cameras: Contax 137 MA Quartz, Contax 139 Quartz, Canon EOS-1n & Yashica T3

You did get a bargain. Btw, did your copy come with a dedicated lens hood or just a generic one? _________________ "I've got a Nikon camera, I like to take a photograph" - Paul Simon |

That's a ~very~ good set of shots (using a very good subject, too), Edgar. Not only does it show the sharpness throughout the aperture range, it also shows how the transition in the background bokeh occurs as well.
I do agree with you about zooms generally not performing their best at their FL extremes. However, that's partly ~why~ I tend to test zooms at their FL extremes, just to see how they actually do when pushed (or "pushed and pulled" for 1-touch zooms - LOL) to their extremes. [For example, in my sample images for this 60-120/2.8 zoom above, all of them were taken at either 60mm or at 120mm.]
Furthermore, it usually seems to me (and this is in my own personal experience - YMMV, of course) that I tend to actually ~use~ zooms much or even most of the time at their extreme FL's, and less frequently at mid-range. E.g., I tend to use telephoto zooms the most at their longer end, and I tend to use wide-angle zooms somewhat more at their wide end. _________________ Fred

Very interesting sets of images, Edgar -- thank you for going to all that trouble to compile them.
In looking at the wide open f/2.8 images, it does seem as if the 90mm mid-range FL does perhaps do the best (just as you originally suspected), although the 60mm short end is almost a match -- but even the 120mm long end did reasonably well. In looking at the f/8 images, the differences are still there, but they are, not surprisingly, smaller. I would say that your sample of the 60-120/2.8 acquitted itself quite well. _________________ Fred

Those images look so nice, and the comments from the Pentax reviews are so compelling, it all makes me want to buy one. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depends on my point of view, I suppose), I can't afford any more lenses this month. I just bought a Tamron SP 28-135 for cheap and that pretty much took care of my lens buying budget for the month. But it looks like there's one more lens now that's on my "must buy" list. _________________ Michael

Thank you Fred, I'm very happy with my copy. When I bought it a couple of years ago it was new and unused from a local camera shop closing down sale. Do you know whether there was a dedicated hood for this lens?

I paid only 40 euros for this lens with lens hood, so I think I got a bargain. |
You did get a bargain. Btw, did your copy come with a dedicated lens hood or just a generic one? |
It's just a generic one, but it fits very nicely to the look of this lens. I believe that this lens had a dedicated lens hood as many Tokina AT-X lenses have their own. They are made of plastic. _________________ Cameras: Contax 137 MA Quartz, Contax 139 Quartz, Canon EOS-1n & Yashica T3
