Great bokeh but some corner issues. Slow AF.

And noisy as the old Tokinas were... or not?

Quote:the optical design itself is actually not new - it is based on the classic Tokina AF 100mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro macro (for DSLRs that is).


Which itself borrows its optical design from the smc Pentax-D FA 100mm f/2.8 macro (launched in 2004), the optical design of which is a fine-tuned version of that of the smc Pentax-F 100mm f/2.8 Macro (launched in 1987).

What did you say about Tokina having 'to cut corners 'in order to achieve a 40% lower price tag'? Smile
