What customers say about "Key Specs"

Tokina AT-X 24-70 mm f2.8 PRO FX Lens for Nikon Camera

An excellent lense that has added extra sharpness to my photographs It is heavy compared to other lenses I have but makes up for this in the sharpness and detail I now get.
The images are from this lens are very good. They are shparp with high contrast.
The images have a very clean quality with crisp detail. Most images were taken at or about f4 4.5. Out of focus area are not terriblely creamy or smooth. Just Unique.
First of all, there is no denying that this is the sharpest 24-70 available for nikon cameras. If sharpness is your thing, and you love your D810 as much as I love mine, then order this now.
Distortion at 24mm is definitely noticable, although it's the same as all the other 24-70s.

Tokina AT-X 24-70 mm f2.8 PRO FX Lens for Nikon Camera

This is my second Tokina lens, and I love it. Other than weight, its performance and photo quality is comparable to the Canon 24-70 2.8.
People complaining about the slow focus are just nitpicking. Love the weight. Very well-made for the price.
Excellent size in order to put this lens with you in a bag and take it as a second lens.
The lens is heavy with huge diameter. Which causes certain difficulties in use.
A monster of a lens. The heaviest I have ever used. Hands get tired incredibly.

What customers say about "Imaging"

Tokina AT-X 24-70 mm f2.8 PRO FX Lens for Nikon Camera

It feels good to use. The zoom motion is very stiff without a bit of creep.
The focus is not as faat as other ATX lenses although very precise.
The autofocus is just barely approaching officially being slow. The af accuracy is great, but the speed is just ok.
Zoom ring a little stiff. Manual focus clutch works like a charm.
Since there is no image stabilization it is necessary to work with a tripod or a high ISO in low light.

What customers say about "Features"

Tokina AT-X 24-70 mm f2.8 PRO FX Lens for Nikon Camera

Works great with Nikon D700 and provide excellent color rendition and very sharp image.
It's very sharp, focuses quickly in all the situations I've used it for. It's heavy, but well made.
This is a good lens and I'm impressed with its focusing speed on my Nikon D750. It's a sharp lens and I think the image quality is above average for its price.
The image quality is top notch, but my copy had issues with its filter threads so I had to return it.
The auto focus is a little laggy on my crop sensor, but thats the case with all my lenses, Nikon or otherwise.
