Digital camera reviews of Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X PRO DX Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Amazing Normal Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I was debating between this lens and the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 I decided to go for this lens because of the Macro capability as well as the superior bokeh and build quality that it offered. When I received the lens, I was pleased to find that it met and exceeded my expectations!
PROS:
- Solid metal construction.
- Clutch AF/MF selector (some may find this to be a CON if a switch is preferred).
- AF Limiter switch.
- Superb IQ and Sharpness EVEN when wide open!
- VERY nice bokeh.
- "Normal" lens is great for indoors (35mm on a DX lens is ~52mm).
- Surprisingly fast AF (especially for a macro!). [with a Nikon D90's BIM]
- Macro lens means you can focus very close to the lens itself.
- Distance gauge on the lens (great for MF).
- Recessed front element making it easier to keep clean and remove most of the need for a lens hood (unless you use a UV or other filter).
CONS:
- Only f/2.8 (but, it still surpasses some primes that are stepped down to f/2.8!).
- MF/AF Klutch doesn't move back and forth as easily as I would like (compared to Tamron 90mm Macro).
- Aperture steps down to ~3.2 at certain focus distances.
- Sometimes has a Green/Blue color-cast but this is very rare and easily corrected in post-processing.
- 1:1 Macro would require you to be almost against the front lens (that's why I still use the Tamron for most of my Macro photography)
I would highly recommend this lens to anyone looking for a normal lens on a DX camera. It is sharp, has great IQ, good build quality, amazing bokeh, and Macro/close-focusing capabilities. A real winner if you ask me!
