 Great lens November 27, 2008
I was looking for a macro lens (my first), I was considering Sigma 105mm and tamron 90mm all of them are good choices, but I get better price on this Tokina, The image quality is excellent, It's very sensitive to movement, you have to use a tripode o monopode, even use it on manual mode to catch good pictures. It says that is 2.8 but is 2.8 only when the subjetc is far away. if your subject is closer like 30 centimeters it becomes 4 o 4.5 (aperture). Good Color, very Sharp and a nice little dark buke. The autofocus is slow, but you have to be patient on this kind of pictures. I took some portraints and look great very good.

I purchased this lens and was initially very happy with it. However, within 30 days of light use I started to ge EE errors on my Nikon. So unfortunately I am not very happy with this purchase. I am looking at replacing it with a Nikon lense now.

This is my first macro lens. I am very satisfied with the results. It does not have AF-S/HSM, but in macro auto focus performance/type is not very important. Optical and build quality is excellent. It does not have VR, but for macro you will need tripod or monopod in most cases anyway. VR would help if you use it as a short-telephoto, but it is not as practical as a good 70-200mm/f2.8 zoom lens. Very reasonably priced.

For the price this is a remarkable lens. I really like the focus and the sharpness. I use it on a D200 and experienced great results. A must for the price conscience consumer who wants all the quality he can get for his bucks.
