Lens Test: Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8 Pro DX AF

 

For full-frame film shooters, one of the most popular lenses is the highspeed 70-210mm zoom, suited to most typical photo subjects. No surprise, then, that lensmakers are now offering a spate of (approximately) 50-150mm digital-only zooms, the...

Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8 Pro DX AF Review

 

A great range for 1.5x crop-factor sensors, the Tokina 50-135 f/2.8 fits right in where the 70-200 range used to be on 35mm SLRs. I love my Sigma 70-200 f/2.8, but sometimes I sure wish I could get that extra 20mm that this new Tokina offers. Check...

Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8 AT-X 535 AF PRO DX review by korthaj

 

Wanted a smaller 70-200 f2.8 type lens and this one felt like a good compromise. The range 50 to 135 suits me better for general photography and portraits, this thing doesnt scare people because it doesnt look big. The 50-135 is compact, very well made...

Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8 AT-X 535 AF PRO DX review by Mac_In_FL

 

I love this lens. This lens should be in everyone's bag if their camera uses an APS-C sensor. I do not believe there is a better quality lens in this zoom range and at this price point.

Sharp pleasing colors. Excellent build. Useful range

Non-removable tripod mount. Prone to some flare, CA

Great low budget alternative to the Nikon 2.8

 

Great low budget alternative to the Nikon 2.8

I read all the reviews I could before purchasing this lens, and at the end of the day it was either this one or the Nikon 80-200 AF-D f/2.8 lens which sells for twice the price. I purchased this Tokina from Amazon.com (Best price BTW) and am truly...

Second to None!!!!!!

 

Second to None!!!!!!

As with all things, I went through months of researching a new lens for my camera and as an "Old School" shooter, I did not want just another piece of plastic. The front runners were of course, Nikon's 24-70mm f/2.8, 28-79mm f/2.8, Sigma's 24-70mm...

Great lens for the D300

 

Great lens for the D300

What an easy lens to work with, I was getting ready to order a d700 and a nikkor 70-200 2.8 lens until I came across this lens. I am so glad I found this lens, Its lighter, just as sharp, 25% of the cost and this lens is so easy to use and the bokeh...

Product Specifications

The new Tokina AT-X 535 PRO DX lens is a 50-135 with a fast constant aperture of f/2.8. This lens gives digital photographers the similar to the industry standard 80-210 telephoto zoom lens in 35mm camera terms but is much more compact and lightweight. The lens features SD glass lens elements to correct for chromatic aberrations and focuses all colors accurately at the film plane, making the AT-X 535 PRO DX an APO lens. The front element has a newly formulated WP or "Water Proof" optical coating on the glass. This new coating makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much easier to clean than standard multi-coating. Other features include a built-in tripod collar and One-touch focus clutch mechanism for fast switching between auto focus and manual focus modes.
