Digital camera reviews of Tokina 80-400/4.5-5.6 AT-X 840 D Telephoto Zoom Lens for NIkon D USA

Digital camera Review: DOF STicks
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased this lens for greater Distance but when i spent the whole day on an excursion i had problems with this lens. It locked up on me at 200mm. I was able to get it lose but it did it again to me. also it doesn't do well with low light. This is a lens that needs a tripod to use ( which i figured that much anyways. It also has a built in colar for tripod which is a Pain getting around to adjust Distance. Also the lens hood is gigantic. So far my experiences with Tokina hasn't been impressing. I really believe something was wrong with this specific lens i bought. Not saying there all bad but this one was.

Summary of Tokina 80-400/4.5-5.6 AT-X 840 D Telephoto Zoom Lens for NIkon D USA

In 1996 Tokina created a new class of telephoto lens when it introduced the original AT-X 840 AF. This was the smallest zoom lens available that had a bright f/5.6 aperture at 400mm. Now Tokina has recreated the lens for the digital age.Still the smallest SLR lens available that zooms to 400mm, the AT-X 840 AF D has a smooth and quick internal focusing system that means the all-metal inner barrel that houses the heaviest glass elements does not have to rotate when the lens focuses, making it much faster than the previous models.Optically, the AT-X840 AF D has new multi-coatings applied to the elements that are formulated to compensate of the highly reflective CCD and CMOS sensors in today?s Digital SLR cameras. The new multi-coating greatly reduces the chance of internal flare or ghost reflections.A built-in low-profile tripod collar makes for a well-balanced camera/lens combination when using a tripod or monopod. For best results, Tokina always recommends using a tripod or monopod with telephoto lenses.Another feature that makes the AT-X 840 AF D an excellent traveling companion is the zoom lock switch. The zoom can be locked at 80mm to so there is not chance of ?zoom creep? when the camera and lens are being carried over the shoulder.Tokina kept ease of use in mind with the new AT-X 840 AF D, the new BH-725 lens hood with the a PL Assist spring loaded thumb wheel allows a circular polarizer or special effects filter to be rotated while the lens hood is in place. No more removing the hood to change the position of the filter.ITEMS INCLUDED. Built-in Tripod collar Dedicated lens hood (BH-725) fitted soft case 3 Year USA Warranty
