what's especially great about this lens is it's macro option, that goes to 1:1,4 magnification, almost 1:1

The results certainly look quite good! Is this a push/pull zoom? |

I've never been a fan of Tokina, and now I only have two, one - a 35-200 / 4.5 5.6 came with a bunch of Minolta MD stuff and I don't like it all. The other is a AT-X SD 80-200 / 2.8 - and I paid £5 for it in perfect cosmetic condition at a camera fair. It didn't reach infinity, which is why it was cheap, but I fixed that.
It's an extraordinary lens, it takes no prisoners and has to be used with care and precision, but the results are stunning. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any AT-X lens that came along now. Your images confirm that for me.

Tokina are a real mixed bag, the build quality is always excellent but the optical quality varies a lot. The 3.5/17, 2.8/24 and 2.8/28 are all excellent, whereas the 3.5/200, 4.5/300 and 5.6/400 are all stinkers with low contrast, poor colours and lashings of CA.
The zooms vary just as much, I had the RMC 25-50, it was poor, the SD 28-70 and 70-210 were slightly better. The AT-X 28-135 is fantastic, very sharp, one of the best zooms I've ever seen, won't part with that one even if it is huge and heavy. The AT-X 4/80-200 is one of the best I've tried too. The RMC 4.5/80-200 is also very sharp but a bit weak in contrast and colours.

While I am a big fan and user of several tokina ATX zooms, I tried this one and just couldn't live with the variable
aperture. I shoot manual exposure mode on digital and kept having to adjust the shutter speed every time I zoomed
it in and out. Either that or live with varing exposure images. Too frustrating, I sold it and swore off ever buying any
variable aperture zooms again. F5.6 at the long end is kinda slow too.

Well with me it is exactly the opposite way round.
I can not tolerate a camera that prohibits metering with manual lenses and/or is fiddly when to adjust manual exposure.
That was the biggest drawback of my A1 in the days and when the t90 came around I never looked back. |
My camera meters manually fine, its just that the actual fstop keeps changing every time you adjust zoom, that means
shutter speed needs continual adjustment, and that is a pain in the ass in manual mode. Variable aperture zooms
are best used in autoexposure modes, but I don't like autoexposure modes either as they are dependent on subject
reflectance for accurate usage. Just give me a good meter, manual exposure, and a CONSTANT aperture zoom or a prime
and I am fine.
