Nice lense, more versatile and funny to use than all my possesed Tokina 28-70/2.8. The Tamron has better contrast and sharpness. The Tamron retracted looks considerably smaller, but actually extends a bit longer at 75 mm. "JAPAN"ĭespite the 77 mm filter size, the front element looks lightly smaller than the one on the 67 mm filter thread Tamron 28-75mm F2.8. The slightly smaller/lighter 28-70mm F2.6-2.8 AT-X 270 Pro II was sold alongside this lens. I can't see any visible haze or fungus on the lens elements.Īccording to Tokina this lens was developed after Tokina was absorbed by Kenko in the mid 1990's and predated Minolta and Sony digital SLRs. The Tokina glow/lack of contrast doesn't go away even when stopped down. The mid-range Minolta AF zooms arguably have better image quality at the same aperture settings with better contrast and flare control. The outer barrel of the body and the stationary filter threads reach slightly beyond the fully extended front element.ĭespite the 77 mm filter size, the front element looks lightly smaller than the one on the 67 mm filter thread Tamron 28-75mm F2.8. The front element is most retracted at 50 mm and infinity focus and most extended at 28 mm and closest focus. Like other Tokina zooms this is an external front focus and extending zoom. This lens borrows the lens ID of the Minolta AF 28-85mm F3.5-4.5.
