Another great lens from Tokina

 

Another great lens from Tokina

This is the second Tokina Lens I've bought (the first being the 11-16). I have to say, what a fantastic lens, at around half the price of the competition. Tokinas have a few quirks, the most unusual being the focus clutch. I still don't like it. It...

Exceptional!!!

 

Exceptional!!!

I bought this lens after a long research, for my Nikon D60. The Nikon's macro lenses with autofocus feature for D60 costs almost double. I needed a macro lense and was ready to compromise with the autofocus feature since autofocus may not help macro...

Very good lens.

 

Very good lens.

I like this lens a lot, It's very sharp with nice bokeh, the price is good comparted with anothers like sigma 105 or tamron 90. In macro you have to use F9 or more to get many datail. The F2.8 only can be used in subject at 30-50cm (1-1.6Ft) aprox and...

Nice lens, terrible shipping

 

Nice lens, terrible shipping

Lens lives up to every positive review previously listed here on Amazon. I only wish that Adorama (my supplier) would have packed the lens better. I received a large box with the small OEM box inside and no packing material. Needless to say it had...

Very sharp Lens!

I bought this lens for my D300 back in 2008, but actually now is that I am using it a lot. It is a very sharp lens around F8. I use it for photographing butterflies and other insects, just great. Excellent colors and sharpness, the bokeh is very nice...

Exception quality to cost ratio

 

Exception quality to cost ratio

After renting the Nikkor 105 VR and testing the Tamron 90mm, I realized that each of these lenses can make superb close up images. The Nikon was just overpriced, frankly, and its VR doesn't come into play with really close work. The Tamron is quite...

Tokina ATX 100 MM is tack sharp.

 

Tokina ATX 100 MM is tack sharp.

I researched several macro lens for some time before purchasing the Tokina. It was very evident that a minumum of a 100mm lens was a must. I was initially very interested in the Nikon and then came across information that the Tokina macro was designed...

Best Macro for the money

 

Best Macro for the money

I'll keep this simple, dont judge this lens by the lack of people who buy and review this lens, this lens is a gem! Awesome for macro and works great as a portrait lens as well. Do be warned though the barrle does extend when focusing so if this is a...

Excellent alternative to the $1000 Nikon or Canon Lenses

 

Excellent alternative to the $1000 Nikon or Canon Lenses

I'm a professional photographer using Nikon gear and have some serious Nikon glass. I shoot a lot of headshots for a company and use a D700 with the Tokina 100mm and D3 with the Nikon 135mm DC. Typically, I shoot several with each camera/lens setup to...

Sharpest Lens I Ever Owned

 

Sharpest Lens I Ever Owned

This is an amazing lens. I never owned a Canon L lens but I think this lens must be equal in quality, or close to it. The quality of this lens makes a big difference in the outcome of my photos. It's a little heavy compared to my other lenses but well...

Product Specifications

The AT-X 100 PRO D is a macro lens capable of life-sized (1:1) reproduction at 11.8-inch (30cm). The lens' multi-coating has been re-engineered to match the highly reflective silicon based CCD and CMOS sensors in today's digital SLR cameras. This lens gives the best of both worlds because optics still gives full coverage and excellent sharpness on 35mm film. The AT-X 100 PRO D is a macro lens that can handle both the digital and film worlds with ease.The AT-X 100 PRO D also has a very convenient focus limiter switch that can lock the focus out of the closes focus making it focus faster when used as a moderate telephoto lens that is excellent portraits as well.
