Overall Fast, bright, and a pleasure to manually focus. This lens is a bargain for its optical quality and price. AutoFocus: This doesn't focus nearly as fast as the L-series canon lenses, but is adequate, Manual Focus: Once in manual focus mode using this lens is a joy.. its very well built. It has stops at infinity and its minimum focus distance, and feels like a manual focus lens should feel. Handling The Zoom Ring turns backwards for canon which takes some getting used to. To switch between auto-focus and manual focus you need to flick a switch on the back and slide the focus ring after aligning with focus system(this is clunky). Optics While very neutral in color, it closely matches L-series quality in sharpness, low-light performance, vignetting, chromatic aberrations, and overall resolution, the bokeh and flare look relatively boring and plain and unexciting. Overall I'm happy to use this with my L-series lens collection.Read full review
The (focus) ring to alternate between the manual and AF modes won't move easily. However, I primarily use the manual mode while shooting videos, (for which I use this lens), so if I just leave it as the manual mode all the time it won't be any problem for me. Other than that, the lens is clean, sharp and worth the price that I paid. I already used it to shoot a couple of times in relatively dark situations, and by taking advantage of the wide aperture open of this lens, I didn't have to kick ISO much, so the pictures did not too grainy. So I got a right item for my productions.

Are you kiddin' me? This is an excellent lens for the money. I have owned Tokina's for years. Yes, I am not a professional making a living at photography, but my friend is, and she's buying them now too after seeing my photos! Why spend the money on the brand name when you can get a real heavy metal made lens in a Tokina. Plus the fast, fast speed enables you to get movement shots clearer than you expected! I also purchased a used 80-200 f/2.8 and am having the same good experience with it! I gave the size/weight a 4 because these are very well made tanks. They are very heavy. I don't know how that compares with Nikon or Cannon of the same caliber, but you have to 'be in shape' to lug the 80-200 around. But the payoff is worth it, plus I'm expecting it to last years for me. I'm submitting this quick rating just to people know this lens is not a fake. This lens is the real deal! And yes, I've already recommended this to a friend and more.Read full review
J'ai acheté cet objectif Tokina AT-X car il presente les memes caractéristiques que son equivalent chez Canon série L. (ouverture 2.8 constant pour full format) et que je l'ai payé 4 fois moins cher. Evidemment il s'agit d'un objectif d'occasion qui a été fabriqué au temps ou Tokina faisait des objectifs pour Angenieux. C'est dire la qualité d'optique que l'on obtient... Le problème c'est qu'il n'est pas optimisé pour l'informatique des appareils modernes. Alors il faut, autant que possible, s'en servir en manuel. Il va de soi que dés que je peux m'offrir le meme chez Canon je laisserai celui ci de coté. Mais pas sur que je le revende. Car si je devais refaire de l'argentique il serait alors de nouveau en service.
Pros: Image quality (some person will complain for the zoom length between 50-70 but this problem can be solve if your camera have microadjust capability), fast, low distortion, solid build quality, Affordable price Cons: A bit heavy but acceptable.
