"I really love the mechanical quality of the Tokina lenses and I purchased this as a high qulity, higher speed general purpose lens to complement my 18-200mm Nikkor and 12-24mm Tokina lenses."

"The more i use this lens and see the result.... the more i love it!"

"I've had this lens for about a month now and i'm not too thrilled about it. I've paired it up with my canon xsi as well 7d and it's the same thing, the focus just seems to be out of whack."
