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)

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!

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.

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.

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
