Tokina lens
I picked up a Tokina 12-24mm AF f/4 on Monday. Looks reasonable so
far. A few shots taken yesterday on Flickr. -- Joan http://www.flickr.com/photos/joan-in-manly "Bravo Two Zero" wrote in message ... : Any comments on tokina lens ? Overall quality etc... : : Thanks : : |

With every company these days, including Nikon and Canon, they make good lenses and bad, and the quality control seems to be better on some lenses than others. I've had their 28-70/2.6-2.8 ATX Pro since 1994 and it's been a first-rate lens. I've got their 12-24/4 for crop-factor DSLR bodies, and it's very nice indeed, and lots of other people seem to agree. I'm not so happy with their 80-200/2.8 that I've had since 1994, but I haven't actually replaced it yet either. In the mid to late 1980s there were people who thought Tokina was possibly the best designer of zoom lenses for 35mm cameras on the planet. I don't think there's much danger of that these days, because the body manufacturers have gotten serious about zooms. Tokina and Tamron are both top lens companies, but they both make models that aren't so good. |

Tokina and Tamron are both top lens companies, but they both make models
that aren't so good. As does Canon for instance. They had a really lousy plasticy series of lenses which got a 4 at fredmiranda and others. See: http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/s...&cat=27&page=2 So: brand delivers no certainty whatsoever. . Rutger -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/zwaarddrager |

What is it that you don't like about it anyway? -- Thomas T. Veldhouse Key Fingerprint: D281 77A5 63EE 82C5 5E68 00E4 7868 0ADC 4EFB 39F0 |
