(5 customer reviews)

This camera glass has a focal length of 70-210mm, which is suitable for capturing distant subjects. It has both manual and autofocus options, allowing for more control over the final image. The lens has multiple elements, which help to reduce aberrations and improve overall image quality. The lens coating helps to reduce glare and improve contrast. The build quality is sturdy and durable, ensuring that it can withstand regular use. The aperture range of f/4-5.6 allows for a good amount of light to enter the lens, making it suitable for shooting in different lighting conditions. The resolution of this photographic lens is high, allowing for sharp and detailed images. There are alternative options available in the market, but this lens is a good option for those looking for a budget-friendly telephoto zoom lens. It was manufactured some time ago, but it is still a reliable option for those looking to capture distant subjects. The bokeh, or the quality of the out-of-focus areas in the image, is decent, providing a pleasing background blur.

Positives:
– Despite its age, the Tokina AF 70-210mm f/4-5.6 lens takes high-quality pictures on my Nikon D5000.
– The lens is reasonably priced compared to newer lenses on the market, making it a great option for those on a budget.
– The zoom range is versatile, allowing me to capture shots at a variety of distances.
– The build quality is solid, and it feels like a sturdy lens that can withstand some wear and tear.

Negatives:
– The autofocus can be slow and noisy, which can be a drawback when trying to shoot fast-moving subjects.
– The aperture is not constant throughout the zoom range, which may result in some discrepancies in exposure.
– The lens is not as sharp as some other lenses on the market, especially when shooting wide open.

Conclusion:
Overall, I think the Tokina AF 70-210mm f/4-5.6 is a great lens for anyone looking for an affordable option with a decent zoom range and good build quality. While it may not be the fastest or sharpest lens around, it gets the job done and produces quality images.
