This is the Tokina made lens which I took for a few test shots today. These first images were all shot wide open at f/1.9 on my full frame Canon EOS 6D.

The lens





Wide open samples









100% crop



I'm really impressed! Like all the fast wide Vivitars of the era, it has nice colours and a wonderful way of rendering images (+ dodgy corners!). But whilst there's clearly coma issues wide open, it's certainly sharp enough Smile Stopped down images to come once the baby stops crying Laughing

Beautiful pictures. I had this lens, and it rendered a great 3D effect. I had to sell it, and now I regret. You make me want to look for another one. Very Happy
