Any reviews or any ideas how good such lens can be ? (especially wide open).
I would like to thank you for your reply
Regards

Google isn't much help, I did my best. I see a couple other people ask about it with no results.
Can you post some picture results? Perhaps at close, med, and far focusing distances. Both wide open and stopped down?

Thanks!
I can try that during the weekend, with my tripod. Can you give more details what I should be shooting?
I am shooting raw files with my a6000, I guess I should convert to jpeg without any post processing. right?

I shoot them raw.
I like to take a couple pictures at minimum focusing distance. a couple fairly close with a subject framed ( perhaps a portrait if I can find someone to pose), and a couple at infinity. If you do each shot wide open , and one at lets say 5.6, we can see how sharp it is wide open.
Then export without processing in PS, and if you like a couple best, then show same shots processed at the end of the post.

Hi,
I had some very little time this morning to take my first shots. I am not sure if these are good enough but here it is.
I have set up my camera on a tripod and focusing distances were at the range of 1.5m to 2m. Minimum focusing distance is around 1.4m
I tried three shots with the same framing
f2.8 aperture (This is the widest available)
f4 aperture
f5.6 aperture
I only tried in full stop increments and I was adjusting exposure as needed.
I also has some examples with the illumination coming exclusively from on camera flash. For being sure that my flash does not introduce any extra vignetting I was shooting with my flash set at 24mm while my equivalent on this lens is 150mm (a6000 camera).
I imported in lightroom and exported in maximum available jpeg with no post processing at all.
Have a look if you can (each photo has a caption)
http://alexpal.smugmug.com/ToShare/Tokina-100mm-first-test/n-JKVRcg/i-mrSVRkg
and let me know what should I shoot more after that
Regards
Alex

This lens is also found under the "Soligor" brand and probably "Hanimex" as well

How this information should change my google search?
You mean that one could buy just the exact same lens under a different brand name? Does not this mean that a lens is bad?

Not necessarily. For example Minolta was producing some lenses for Leica and they have been sold under the Leica brand. Would you think that they are therefore bad lenses?
Many of the big players like Tokina, Tamron or Cosina have produced lenses for different brands and they still do so. Not every lens of the different camera makers are produced in-house. Some of them do not produce any lens on their own. Not even the Nikon FM-10 camera was produced by Nikon but by Cosina.

I had the preset (non-auto) version, well two different ones actually both labelled Soligor but made by Tokina, and the newer one was pretty good
