Tokina ATX-i f/2.8 FF Macro Lens Nikon, 100mm
About atx-i Series Leaving the honorable AT-X abbreviation, the letter "i" was newly added. "i" stands for "interactive", implying mutual communication between photographer and the lens. This is our believe that this series will provide a tight bond between photographer and the lens in order to capture in the image that the photographer sees around. Optical Performance To achieve an exceptional optical performance demanded for ultra wide angle zoom lens in still and video shooting purposes, two aspherical glass elements and two Super-Low Dispersion glass elements were used in order to minimize distortion, manage spherical aberration and astigmatism while achieving excellent edge-to edge resolution and contrast of the entire image. Great efforts were done to control light fall-off at all focal lengths. Mechanics The front of the lens has a 55mm filter threads which extends during the focusing but does not rotate. This allows different filters including polarizers to be used for landscape or product photography. A focus range limiter switch on the side of the lens locks the lens focus into or out of the macro focusing range to avoid excessive AF hunting. The direction of the manual focusing ring matches the proprietary direction of Nikon and Canon lenses. The Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF MACRO Nikon F mount is equipped with manual aperture ring based on Ai AF Nikkor D-Type* lens standard that allows to use this lens with wide variety of cameras including old Nikon film cameras. * When used with Nikon DSLRs that do not have a focus motor in the camera body like D3000 and D5000 series only MF mode is available.

Affordable, high quality, and intuitive. My favorite qualities in any piece of hardware, and this lens is certainly no exception.As a toy photographer who inherited a wonderful landscape and portraiture set-up, the rest of my arsenal left a noticeable gap which made it difficult to capture clear close-ups on 4 subjects. After a week of playing around, I feel confident this lens will always be nearby if not living on the camera at all times. It would have been very easy to spend more (a lot more) but on paper, the differences are so minimal, most wouldn't even notice. Once again, Tokina brings the sort of quality I'm looking for at a price point I can stomach. Love it!

I'm using this lens on a tilt adapter to a mirrorless camera so I can't attest to its autofocus system. Focus ring is very smooth but obviously takes many turns to work through the range. So far I have experienced little to no distortion. Image quality is very good. Edge to edge sharpness doesn't arrive until you get to f11, and is even better at f16 where diffraction just starts to take its toll. f22 is usable but softer. My only real complaint is that from f22 to f32 sharpness completely disappears. f32 is useless on this lens so if you absolutely need maximum depth of field you'll be disappointed.

This third-party lens does not disappoint. I just received it in the mail and started to mess around with it and these three photos are what I was able to produce straight out of the box. Obviously, I need more time to see about its durability and power to withstand intense conditions. The quality coming out of this lens is amazing for the price tag. Plus the lens looks clean and professional. I am excited to see how my photography will improve adding this lens to my collection.

I have a very difficult time getting anything in focus at 1/60 shutter speed--especially with a shallow depth of field. The lens locks with the auto focus as though it's set, but when I review the picture, nothing is is truly in focus.
I bought this lens to be used with my Nikon Z7 for digitizing 35mm negatives. It provides slightly better results than the AF-D 60mm Micro, due to its flatter focus plane. Also its MF ring is very smooth and has a longer throw, which made it superb for my use scenario.The biggest down side is that it doesn't auto-focus with Nikon mirrorless camera. I can't recommend it to anyone who's future thinking.
I've always known this lens to have a cult following, and apparently, for good reason. I've carried it for several years now for landscape photographer. I would never go anywhere without it. The rendition is like nothing I've ever seen before. My all time favorite image was taken with this lens, and it has been surprisingly durable through my travels.
Okay, I'll go first.... I received it a few days ago. Very nice. Relatively compact and light weight. Using it on a Z6 with the FTZ adapter. Sharp, and with nice color and bokeh. I have no complaints, but have used it very little. I can also say, based on even more limited usage, it appears to work well with IR (590 NM anyway) - no hot spots in the few shots I took at varying apertures. I'll be returning it though as - stupid me - I didn't consider the fact that, with manual focus (which is what you'll get with this lens on the Z series cameras) it does not work with Nikon's focus stacking setup. Not sure how much I'll use that, but I want the option. So, this is not the greatest experienced based review, but it serves as a first impression anyway. I'd likely keep ... MoreOkay, I'll go first.... I received it a few days ago. Very nice. Relatively compact and light weight. Using it on a Z6 with the FTZ adapter.

I'd likely keep it if it weren't for the focus stacking concern. I'm confident with four stars....may have been five if I worked with it more. I do think it'll prove to be a very nice lens.
Loved the lens- great price to performance ratio and lovely optics. Extremely slow autofocus though. Mine took a (very) minor fall, resulting in a bent chassis that ruined the autofocus mechanism. I had the opportunity to look inside the lens body at a workshop when attempting to fix it: Inside components are like what you find in a toy. So much cheap plastic! So be careful it’s not robust at all. I will replace it but will be much more careful with the new one and will certainly not take it on outdoor trips!
I picked this up as a replacement for an aging 105mm Nikkor, as the newer 105's from Nikon are a bit more than i wish to spend at this moment. Build is in line with other lenses I've used from Tokina. The focus ring snaps from auto to manual easily, but still feels quite solid. There is minimal hunting when using the auto focus, even when shooting macro, and the motor is fairly quiet. The auto focus plays quite well when used with in live view with focus stacking programs. Color looks quite good, and I have yet to see any chromatic aberrations.The only downside is the lens is just a smidgen less sharp than my old 105mm. However, not having to worry about the hunting, travel, and focusing noise of the 105mm is enough of a trade off for me.
The Tokina atx-i was recommended to me as an affordable macro lens. I discovered it performs as well as any lens twice the price. Images are sharp and crisp. My wife's gardens have come alive with this lens!
