This “Legendary” Portrait lens personifies Tokina's slogan - "Built like a tank!"
Its black metal “massive” shape translates to a serious Pro persona.
Looking like a little Bazooka, this full-metal jacket optic is a venerable workhorse of commercial shooters.
Although discontinued in 2003 it casts an unmistakable aura of current high end black monolithic Pro Optics. At a fraction of their price without excessive weight at only 1350 grams, what’s not to love about this Tokina AT-X Pro.
What’s Missing? VR; Instant manual override; Silent Focus; Compatibility with Nikon Z-Mount FTZ adapter.
Creditable offers of $300 (plus ship/insurance) will be considered.
Payment mode depends on UHH Positive Feedback and/or years active as a UHH member.
Comes with Caps; Swiss Arca Plate; Hood and limited technical support to assure you have the very best possible experience with this classic portrait lens.
Cameras Supported: Nikon F Mount; Must have screwdriver motor, works with both FX and DX however FX is optimal. On my Nikon D3x & D810 it locks focus quickly, never hunts thanks to the wide/bright f/2.8 aperture.
Again Please Note: Will not AF with Nikon’s Z-Mount FTZ adapter.
Really not recommended for a novice hobbyist, this is serious glass for seasoned commercial shooters.
That said, it truly shines in a studio (compact and agile in hand)
I purchased this epic optic from KEH (who rated it (Excellent Condition)).
Caveat: This lens may require AF fine tune to achieve optimum acuity.
Not ideal for indoor sporting events (consider using a fast f/1.4 AF 85mm)
For weekend hobbyist I highly recommend Nikon’s AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Nikkor instead.
Very EZ to use, excellent acuity and half the weight (680g) of this “Pro Glass” Tokina (albeit twice the price I’m asking here).
Below I’ve compiled a suite of images to validate and corroborate why this venerable workhorse portraiture lens is still cherished today… Need to see more images? Just ask I'll do my best to meet expectations
Note: Clean; well cared for copies in excellent condition disappear quickly On Line.
Why am I selling this lens? I have two copies
seriously love it!
Any questions? Please ask…
Thanks!
