Product Description The new Tokina AT-X 535 PRO DX lens is a 50-135 with a fast constant aperture of f/2.8. This lens gives digital photographers the similar to the industry standard 80-210 telephoto zoom lens in 35mm camera terms but is much more compact and lightweight. The lens features SD glass lens elements to correct for chromatic aberrations and focuses all colors accurately at the film plane, making the AT-X 535 PRO DX an APO lens. The front element has a newly formulated WP or "Water Proof" optical coating on the glass. This new coating makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much easier to clean than standard multi-coating. Other features include a built-in tripod collar and One-touch focus clutch mechanism for fast switching between auto focus and manual focus modes.

Great Portrait Lense with Some IssuesOctober 27, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this lense specifically for shooting portraits. For that use it's a wonderful lense. Very sharp and easy to focus. I really like the tripod mounting ring because it allows me to switch between portrait and landscape with just a flip of the lense without moving the camera. br /br /One issue I have is that when I mount it on a tripod using my Nikon D300 my quick release base blocks access to the wired remote shutter release socket. The only other issue I have is with the butterfly lense hood. It cannot be rotated so the large leafs are at the top when in the portrait orientation. So when I shoot verticals I have very little lense protection from my top light (Hair Light). I replaced the supplied hood with a third party hood which works no matter which way the lense is oriented.
