Pros: Compactness, weight.

Cons: Sharpness, the zoom ring between 35 and 28 mm tends to stick.

Opinion: I needed a cheap standard zoom for one of my old Nikon camera bodies and I was curious to try this tokina which on paper could be interesting given the use of SD lenses. The lens arrived in good condition, clean lenses, smooth focusing, fluid zoom ring except between 35mm and 28 where the zoom extends and needs a little help, it does not seem to have any particular defects. Compared to Nikon 28-70 AFD 3.5-4.5, 28-85 AF f3.5-4.5, 35-70 AF 3.3-4.5, not only does it not hold a candle, it is just unwatchable. Tested with D750 and D7200 at TA on 28mm and 35mm it is already not very sharp in the center and worsens a lot at the edges even with apsc, closed at f6.7 it improves in the center in the focus area without ever reaching the sufficiency and the edges remain unwatchable, It improves but not so much between 35mm and 50mm up to 70mm. Focus for manual testing with live view and max magnification on the monitor, in autofocus always with live view comparison optics, 1/180 shooting and predominant flash light to eliminate blur risk. Any lens I've ever tried including the standard 28-80 zooms are clearly preferable, this will act as a paperweight, I'll buy another Nikon 35-70 f3.3-4.5 which is a gem in comparison!!
