| ownership: | I have experience with this lens |
| compared to: | Minolta 24-85 mm circular aperature 17-40 mm Canon L |
| price paid: | Ł330 (new) |
| positive: | Built like a Tank |
| negative: | In my opinion not a great performer. Hopeless close focus. Flare prone. Cold |
| comment: | Based on a Angenieux design, interestingly the Angenieux version has a better MTF rating on Photodo than the Tokina. Stopped down it's OK but not great, high CAs also at some focal lengths. A cold lens also. Hopeless close focus. Quite frankly my Minolta 24-85 mm is a better performer and scores an MTF rating of 3.5, against the Tokina's 3.2. Update: Tried on a900 also. Can produce good results but is out-classed in flare and close-focus ability. |
