  | sent on 04 Gennaio 2026 Pros: Beautiful colors, incredible construction, Angenieux heritage, fixed brightness Cons: Loss of contrast at 2.8 and 70 mm., weight, deterioration of performance over time, now poor value for money on second-hand goods. Opinion: I smile in recent times because I often read (especially in sales) the usual refrain: "Angenieux-derived lens". Well, many who write this do not even know the French maison Angenieux, which was at the time of the film a noble manufacturer of very expensive lenses for cinema with a superlative quality of the same. I have owned an Angenieux 28-70 2.6 for several years and I am sorry that it needs to be overhauled as it has a very hard zoom, and the aperture stop that no longer locks. I didn't even try to find out how much the repair costs since it should take place in France. In any case, the photos he takes both on aps-c and ff are superlative and veer towards amber. They have a certain amount of poetry and do not need pp. Well, going back to Tokina (28-70 2.6 2.8), I had this one for 4 years and, although the project is the same (it is not clear if originally Tokina or Angenieux) the performance and consistency are NOT the same as the Angenieux! The Tokina suffers much more from loss of contrast at 2.8 and 3.5, flare and ghost, fog and loss of focus in some extreme circumstances and images than at 70mm. they cannot compete with the French goal. However, it remains very, very pleasant at F8 especially for landscapes and skin color. I also noticed that the Tokina in the long run (perhaps due to a misalignment of the lenses) suffers a deterioration in the quality of the images, tending to overexpose and flatten the subjects. It is still a trinket but I have noticed that many people "rinse" their mouths when they sell it with the Angenieux paternity, pulling a lot on the price that from 250 euros a few years ago now sometimes aligns with 400, thus losing the fateful q/p ratio. That sum is dangerously close to the cost of a Nikkor 28-70 2.8 (without VR) which is a completely different story and which was born for digital, unlike the Tokina born for film. Translated: if you find it in excellent condition for 250 euros, take it. Otherwise, forget it. In the meantime I will continue to use, even with all the limitations of the case, my Angenieux and the Nikkor 28-105 3.5 4.5.. |
 | sent on 07 Luglio 2022 Pros: construction, versatility, sharpness, price Cons: in extreme cases aberrations Opinion: An optics that was actually conceived by Angenieaux who gave the construction under license to Tokina, who actually put only the brand, in fact internally the quality of the optical glasses and mechanisms is sublime incomparable to any optics I have ever tried. In extreme conditions, with very clear subjects or reflecting light to TA suffers from typical aberrazons . I use it only on FF where it gives the best, with a dense sensor like that of the a900 or a850 the yield looks like that of the old films for which it was designed, from what I noticed it is also sealed so it also has a minimum of resistance to bad weather at least in the two versions I own (all with Sony A attack) |
 | sent on 14 Febbraio 2019 Pros: Optically valid at all focal lengths. granitic construction. Cons: Considering the value for money... none! Opinion: I owned version II of this beautiful lens, little known and sometimes snubled. Let's do some order: there are four versions of the Tokina 28-70mm 2.8. First version: It is not initiated Pro. Optically modest. Second version: It does not carry the mark of the Tokina but, hear hear, Angenieaux 28-70mm 2.6/2.8. Angenieaux commissioned the Tokina to assemble the optics and Tokina took over the rights (the blue sheets on which it was designed) at the expiration of the lens. Extremely good optical quality, good contrast, excellent color restitution, and very rare to find. It costs around 1500.00 euros. Third version: (actually second marked Tokina) appears the abbreviation PRO. It's the exact same lens as before, optically. What changes? Fixed aperture at 2.8, different barrel shape. Tokina, acquired the rights, decided to give him the current form and the actual aperture of the diaphragm (also in the version Angenieaux the actual aperture was 2.8). Fourth version (third marked Tokina): the abbreviation SV (Special Value) appears. Those marked with this abbreviation, represent the economical version before the scene output of the zoom in object. In What it consisted of the cheapness I do not know, I have never owned the SV version and therefore I am silent. Final considerations: The second version, the one marked Pro, is the best version. If found in good condition you buy with 250, 00euro and it really represents a great deal. Try to believe! |
 | sent on 21 Febbraio 2018 Pros: Excellent sharpness, solid construction, 77 mm filters. Cons: Some Tokina glare "at maximum aperture, it solves closing a bit. Opinion: A splendid lens sharp and well-built. All known to be used to the fullest. Great bokeh, great sharpness at all focal lengths. I have the pro I got it used like new at a great price. I honestly don't think there is anything better among the best canvasses under 300 tamron 28-75 mm, the euro also f 2.8 and old sigma. The only con is the usual effects Tokina glare at maximum aperture, which forces you to study well the lights and the effect you want to achieve. |
 | sent on 01 Gennaio 2017 Pros: Robustness and elegance; good colors Cons: Too soft (unusable) to 2.8; excessive vignetting and barrel distortion on the wide-angle side and open diaphragms Opinion: I had the AT-X PRO I version for the Japanese domestic market, the one marked 2.8 instead of 2.6-2.8.rnrnBought in August and resold in December ... The vignetting and softness to f / 2.8 were too excessive for my taste ... was usable by f / 4 or better f / 5.6 ... Not to mention the distortion barrel on the wide angle ... if not the front focus, always on the wide angle.rnrnInsomma super very cool very elegant to see each other ... a ' emotion when I arrived and I took it in my hands ... but then in the use that I did it and for my standards there were too many faults. |
 | sent on 13 Dicembre 2016 Pros: Sharpness from f5.6 to f11. Granite construction. Pasty colors "old style". AF fairly fast. Nice and gradual Bokeh. Price ... for what it costs is a bargain !!! Cons: A TA is soft, especially on edges, vignette and contrast loses. Flare tendency with strong light sources in the corners of the frame ... Anything, however, quite soluble in PP. MF macho. Optics, for me, does not fit highly pixelated sensors. Opinion: A slow-to-know lens to make the defects become precious. Among the many existing versions I took that PRO I for the Japanese domestic market (it is 2.8 instead of 2.6-2.8 as that for the other markets ... but it is the same goal in all respects) with screwdriver and black paint satin (like that of the photo above), which is said to come from the Ingenieux. For about 300 €, including customs and shipping costs, I took a rugged lens like a tank. The colors, of course, are less contrasted with the new models but for me it is an advantage, especially if it works well in PP.rnThe best one gives it to 28 and 35. AT TA loss of contrast and sharpness is remarkable. From 50 onwards it is best to close at least at f5.6 for greater clarity and avoid vignetting. Not always under control, especially if UV filters are used, but with some attention you remedy. rnIf you do not have a high budget and if you can do without the '24', it's really highly recommended% 21 If you can not live with the flou effect at TA and you want a blade even at 2.8 ... just pay the quadruple for a used 24-70! I switch to the Nikon 24-70 2.8G in the end I did .... and the Nikon is on another planet, especially as sharpness (and whoever says the opposite has never tried the Nikon)! Rn |

 | sent on 13 Ottobre 2016 Pros: Tokina typical construction: indestructible! Petal hood effectively. Price flea. amazing optical quality even at TA. Cons: For what it costs sincerely anyone. Opinion: Angenieux zoom built on a project from which Tokina bought the license, excellent optical quality and amazing build quality. Sharp, saturated colors in the right place without overdoing it and without "screaming". Heavy compared to optical plasticky today, but being built entirely of metal could not be diversamente.rnRestituisce balanced picture and pleasant to work in PP. Truly recommended for those looking for a handyman with excellent optical zoom and quality construction at a price abbordabilissimo (150.00 / 250.00 Euros depending on conditions). I challenge anyone to distinguish photos taken with this perspective by comparing them to 28-70mm2.8 / 24-70mm2.8 other manufacturers from the stratospheric price. Seeing is believing. To buy absolutely. |
 | sent on 26 Settembre 2016 Pros: solid, bright Cons: flare, chromatic aberrations, weight Opinion: Taken a few months ago version 2.6 - 2.8, and used on Eos 60D. The first impression is stunning: Solid as a rock (although age has a sign) ... and just as heavy. More than the absolute weight the problem comes from the fact that it is quite unbalanced towards the front lens, and then the long tends to tire wrists and fingers. It is probably more suited to heavier SLR as a 5D or 7D. Optically risolvenza has a good (though not great), especially if closed at least f4.0. A TA is a bit 'soft, with a decrease in contrast. The AF is fast enough and with few uncertainties, but a little 'noisy. Suffer from flare enough, as many Tokina lenses, and also chromatic aberrations are sometimes present (like many of the objectives in its class). They are still marginal defects, avoidable with a little 'attention in the composition of your shot and a few clicks in postproduction. Altogether a lens with good value / prezzo.rnrnPS. onlla my 60D does not seem perfectly compatible with the live view, often not being able to connect with the subject, especially at the minimum distance. |
  | sent on 11 Febbraio 2016 Pros: A bomb, sturdy, durable, all-metal, blunt object for some aspects! Crisp at rt, quick and precise af, although with little light is a bit uncertain in some situations. Cons: It weighs, but it is the price to pay for a lens made of war trial Opinion: Weight: expression that kids of our day use to express astonishment at something amazing. but it is also the aprola that is used to refer to the "weight" (proper) of an object. I think it's the right adjective: a very good optics, with enviable optical design, sharp in any situation, even at room temperature, fast and accurate af, a little uncertain twilight (but is there). Solid and eternal. for what it costs then !! (Recommended 2.6-2.8 version as a first choice, alternatively 2.8 to 77mm diameter filters, 72 leave him, is not up) |

| sent on 02 Marzo 2013 Pros: Although dated a lens is perfectly suited to digital on both FF APS-C. It has a fast and accurate autofocus, offers a saturated hue without domination. Sharp at all apertures, f 4 I think it is great. Made all in metal and glass lenses, the weight feels even if compact. rn Cons: Af slightly noisy, slight vignetting at f 2.8, alcuen aberazioni color, weight for its size. Opinion: Purchased used to € 160 just to try (quotes ranging from € 150 to € 230 per copy in excellent condition). Designed for film adapts well to digital FF rnLo use with satisfaction of Nikon D7000, I have not regretted the purchase even if a little long, offers saturated colors with the presence of some color aberazioni solved with good results in PP. Virtually absent distortions or little evidenti.rnHa autofocus quickly and accurately but slightly noisy, the zoom is smooth. Pleasant to the touch of all metal. I can only recommend it for those with a low cost to access a bright lens and quality that offers excellent results. |
