Pros: Three-dimensionality, Construction, AF Reliability

Cons: Availability

Opinion: Hard to find used, you find it at a great price for an optics that equates to a 70-200 on full frame. Holding it in your hand is a real pleasure, building Tokina top! Mounted on the Nikon D7500 the autofocus of the machine makes the focus pleasant and quite fast, certainly not comparable to the latest slow exits but fast enough. Note posivita, does not have front/back focus. Its best value is the optical scheme that churns out truly beautiful files, excellent colors and a stunning three-dimensionality. I haven't seen any downsides yet. For the price that you find used it becomes a must-have for an Aps-c kit.

Pros: Professional optics!

Cons: None for the price it has on the market!

Opinion: AF lenses and structure comparable to the most commercially esplanaed models, rocky construction quality! AF fast and precise and not noisy!! (I use it with a D300s). Light very balanced. sharp lenses even at full-open. very pleasant blurry. AF/MF is very practical and fast to use. Pleasant finishes to the touch... Returns clean and easily processed files in PP. I highly recommend it!! Rating 10

Pros: Sharpness even at f2.8, fantastic blurry, constructive quality and materials, fluid rings, excellent color rendering

Cons: Af a little slow (on d90)

Opinion: Optics almost unreachable and fortunately when I got the chance I did not let her run away ...... almost a 70-200 on apsc but of great quality, used in different situations even in non-optimal light has never disappointed , On portraits is really great !!! With a blur soft and pleasant, some reviews I had read about flare problems with intense light, but using it with her hood kit, I did not notice any flare problems.

Pros: Solid and well-built; Clear already af / 2.8; Fluid rings never too light; Not excessive weight and dimensions; MAF not so bad

Cons: It is not tropicalized; AF not fast

Opinion: Happy owner for about a month of this fabulous optic; How to zoom in on the nikon 17-55 f / 2.8 and nikon 70-210 f / 4-5.6 on the nikon D7100. Compared to the first is less contrasted, as rendered assimilates much to the second; Has a good sharpness already af / 2.8. The AF is not comparable to the Nikon 17-55 but it is cmq at par, if not better, than the nikon 70-210. Zero F / B Focus problems (instead of Sigma 17-50 f2.8 HSM). With subjects that move transversely to the shooting point, I would say that the shots are almost all good (It is advisable to work with a bit of PRE-MAF, where possible, if you are photographing dynamic subjects). With fast-moving or moving subjects, with a concise direction to that of the shooting point, it is a good thing if some of them are focused (AF-C, single point, center, matrix, shutter priority, normal focus tracking, manual) and However, even in 17-55, some of them are in this condition; . It also hooks up in non-optimal light conditions (inside a house in shame).I did not have the need to backlight, but I used it in the afternoon, outside, without hindrance, it did not have Flare problems (probably a fortune, seen what they say) .rnrnAcquisted for 250 euros from Germany has arrived Under the same conditions; I would say it was the billionth investment made. The lens is worth all that money. If you find it (there are really few around) do not let it go unless you have to photograph Lepri chase by Ghepardi.rnrn

Pros: Solid, step MAF in handy pump, crisp, bright

Cons: autofocus speed depends on the camera body (not motorized Nikon), not stabilized

Opinion: Probably the best zoom for portraits for DX sensors! Nuanced beautiful, beautiful colors, and equivalent to a 75-202mm focal range but with about half the weight and footprint of 70-200 f2.8 for FX. I used to picture in theaters and festival presentations and is a great focal body of DX. The tripod ring presence (not removable but easily rotatable in place that does not matter) enables comfortable use on a tripod. The lack of AF motor and stabilizer makes it a lens that lasts for a lifetime and without delicate components. The construction is made of sturdy metal and the lens does not extend outside of the body, making it well-protected even if they do not weather sealed as his Pentax version (Pentax Star label, with motor and tropicalization .. is part of the excellent trio opening constant developed with Tokina 12-24 F4 ..., f.28 16-50, 50-135 F2.8) .rnE 'a lens born to the flagship Nikon D2 and construction is at the same level without games.

Pros: Solid, sturdy, silent AF, MAF lift pump, crisp and bright.

Cons: Weight (but the strength you pay.) Only for APS-C.

Opinion: I use it mainly with Canon 50D, to take pictures with his son, who plays soccer. Due to the short distance of the field of play, I am not okay with this focal indeed, often do not go down by 75. Bright and clear, it is fun to try to usare.Debbo some concerts and possibly for the first piani.Lo recommend it, for its robustness and ease of use. You will not be regretted. Without this positive experience, I think I take 16_28 f2, 8 ... if it gives me so much! Hostel I've ever

Pros: Openness, presence tripod ring, af silent, sharpness, construction

Cons: relatively heavy, un-ergonomic MF ring, lens hood cumbersome, minimum distance maf

Opinion: It 'a lens that I use for portraits and detail, has excellent construction, solid. But this heavy and impractical, especially if fitted with a lens, to take a turn. In contrast the images it produces are very sharp and the focal length allows wide some shots that I have rarely been able to do. Bought in a moment of need, if cmq this hike is sought is a focal lens advisable.
