My 25+ year old Tokinas still look great. No peeling... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' /> They are still in use too, be it not by myself <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' />.



Kind regards, Wim <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' />

I do not think Tokina 25 years ago used the plastic coating on plastic outer shell parts finish yet <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' /> (like they do now, like on my 12-24mm f4 DX).



Peeling on the side of the lens mount... shiny smooth plastic appearing where the coating has chipped/rubbed away. Lens also developed other problems all on its own btw: (failing aperture mechanism, screws loosening and losing, rubber zoom ring "disintegrating" even though the lens is not much used and not stored in harsh conditions, front ring closing the lens around the front element loosening itself).



Modern Tokina build quality is more perception than reality... actual build quality of the Canon EF 35mm f2 is better (!!!).
