Very decent shots. There is not much "bad" 135mm lenses around really. Even my cheapest 135mm Optomax lens is very good stop down a little. |

Looks a keeper to me. Slight contrast boost on the wide shot would help it.
I think it's a Tokina lens isn't it?

Like any other 135' this lens is a very good performer. Honestly, I've bought over 50 135's, I don't think there is one that I found bad performer.

It's nice to see such fine results from a lens I have only barely heard of before. It looks to
me like you made a VERY good buy, and that lens is definitely a keeper. Even the styling
and build of the lens looks very nice. Way to go!

I wish I could say that I got this lens because I did my research and decided from there. I did try to do some research and didn't really turn up any info on the lens. The truth is that it was the price and the condition that the lens was in that got me to hit the "buy now" button. I guess that I took a chance that turned out good. Now all I have to do is repeat it many times for the other focal lengths that I would like to own......  |

Are you sure it's not a rebranded Tokina? Take a look here:

Serial number is almost identical.
