Tokina AT-X 235 AF PRO 20-35mm f/2.8

The Tokina 20-35mm f/2.8 AT-X PRO is for people needed a tough, inexpensive and practical ultrawide FX zoom. Its optics are not for people who count their pixels — those people need the Nikon 16-35mm VR .

I really like this lens. I use it on a Nikon D200 and am quite pleased. Every lens has it's own characteristics. Some have more contrast, some are sharper than others...on and on. I've found the same is true for photo software. The same exact picture...

This is a ATXpro lens and hence has very good finishing appropriate for a pro-level equipment. Weight and size has complemented both digi-bodies as well as film bodies very nicely. Feels more expensive than it is.

It is an extreamly sharp lens (or at least mine is). It is not quite as sharp as my 20mm Nikkor prime but it is FAR sharper than than my 24-85mm 2.8-4 and my 24-120mm 3.5-5.6 VR on the 24mm end of things. Even at 2.8 the lens is more than acceptable...

I bought this len simply because I need a wide zoom len and hesitate to pay more than 1200 for Nikkor 17-35(though I think it worth this price.) The focus speed is fast on my F100. The image is blur at wide opened aperture. It becomes better at f3.3...

I purchased this lens used on eBay as a replacement for three prime lenses I was tired of lugging around. THIS WAS MY FIRST NON OEM BRAND LENS PURCHASE EVER! I had heard about Tokina's reputation for good glass, so for less than $200.00, I decided to...

A well-built, good looking lens (if that's important to you) that optically just doesn't cut it when measured against the cheap, second-hand wide angle primes that are available in the Pentax mount. Think hard about whether you actually need a zoom at...

I bought this lens as a all-in-one solution for the wide angles. I am very happy with the construction and prestation of this lens. It is built heavy, and comes with a nice hood and pouch (which I don't use). I tested the lens lately and was surprised...

I have been very pleased with this lens and have had no major problems to date. I use it with my Nikon F100. The images do very well in comparison with those from the Nikkor 20-35 2.8.
