Yes thats a Tokina, and its got, I believe, a TX interchangeable mount. This lens is of a later series than the ones I've been collecting, which are the first generation of Tokina automatic lenses.
The very annoying wheel is characteristic of the M42 versions of the T4 and TX. I disabled this "feature" on my T4, to make it manual-only.
This lens is fairly uncommon in my experience.
Your Magenta Iris is very nice ! |
luis, THANK YOU for the clarification of the mount, as well as your other helpful statements. Yes, that wheel is actually abrasive to my fingers, it's so stiff.
I guess the lens must be uncommon, as you say. I know I've never come across this particular zoom range from a Vivitar-branded lens.
I am going to keep this a while, see if I can get any fair number of keepers, such as the magenta iris. The rest of the images are simply "okay", nothing there that excites me all that much. I guess if I was rating:
Superb
Excellent
Good
Average
Fair
Poor
I would put in the middle between good and average. Perhaps slightly better than average, more towards Good, based on the (processed) last image. _________________
