(Tokina AT-X Pro 70-200/4.0 FX VCM-S For Nikon)
  • 17 Apr 2015, Fri
Solid, quick and super sharp lens
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Really solid build, lightning quick autofocusing on my D610 - I actually thought it wasn't working before I realised if just focuses very quickly without fuss and without noise. If you listen carefully you can hear the little motors whirring away inside. This is just a quick first opinion and I might update as time goes by but so far I am very pleased with this. Tokina have a very distinguished history of making great lenses and their pro range is very well regarded - and understandably so. Pictures so far have been very sharp - even wide open - the vibration reduction works well. You have to be careful with exposure - I have had some over exposed images but I guess that's just me getting to know the lens. If you can pick one up for a reasonable price then go for it!

The reliable electronics and excellent mechanics ensure an extremely high focusing speed. For this purpose, a magnetic field sensor permanently monitors the displacement of the precise working lens motor and always provides the maximum positioning accuracy of the AF system. Similar systems are also used for positioning the scanning head of computer hard drives, which also have the same requirements for high accuracy. In the AF mode, you can always work in manual mode. Simply adjust the "Auto Focus/Manual Focus" switch. There is also an on/off switch for the VCM image stabiliser. Regardless of sporting events or travel, you will always be ready for the perfect photo opportunity. This telephoto zoom lens is equipped with a built-in optical image stabilizer VCM, which stabilizes up to three stops. With this device you have a compact design and crisp photographs. You can also use this in situations in which you cannot/do not want to use a tripod or in which fast shutter speeds and low iso-values ​​are required. All these factors make this lens suitable for close-up and portrait photography as well as landscapes. The low-index glass and a multi-layer coating ensure high contrast and resolution values. The nine rounded aperture blades - the smallest aperture is given by f/22 - provide a harmonious bokeh. The best-possible prevention of chromatic aberrations is one of the biggest challenges in the design of telephoto zoom lenses. Aberrations arise because light of a different wavelength or colour is refracted differently. This is particularly noticeable at the edges of images in the form of green, red, blue and yellow chromatic aberrations at light-dark transitions. The AT-X 70-200/4.0 Pro FX VCM-S prevented this problem by implementing a special optical lens design and arrangement. By combining aspherical lenses and three SD-glasses (SD = Super Low Distortion) at extremely low scattering and colour break they counteract aberrations in telephoto zoom lenses. The lens design thus provides the maximum resolution and image quality and a reduction of the brightness drop. Critical distortions and aberrations that can occur with larger apertures and at extreme wide angles are effectively prevented.
