THAT is sooper important, do NOT overlook or underestimate its value.
The Nikon AF-D 60mm macro is a very common example of what to avoid ! If you know where to lay hands on one, just try manually focusing it in the normal use range. It’s waaaay too fast, it’s actually twitchy ! Just for the challenge of trying, switch into live view mode and crank up the MF magnifier.
This is not a rare problem. Since the Tokina avoids this curse, thaz another very good reason to get it.
I have a 60mm 2.8 D and this lens could do it all including macro I will never get rid of it, it is a solid lens , Nikon built a gem when they built this lens, very sharp lens. Go to the angry photographer's web site or look it up on I tube and see what he has to say about this lens.
