Product Description
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.

Excellent wide angle May 14, 2006

I never thought that I would say this about a non-Nikon lens, but this is one of my favorite lenses to use. You can easily save the hundreds of dollars by purchasing this one instead of the Nikon/Canon equivalent and feel comfortable about purchasing a quality off-brand lens.
The images are sharp at both ends and quite crisp and clear. The lens feels solid and is built to last. This is definitely one of the best wide-angle zoom lenses that I've ever used. Very good buy.

I lowered my pride and bought a third party lens. I have been horribly dissapointed with third party lenses in the past, but this lens is increadible! its very sharp and has less distortion than my 18-70mm nikkor AF-S DX lens! this lens has permanantly replaced the kit lens on my D70. I have been using this lens for about a month now and I the only complaint i have is minimal ghosting in direct sunlight. this is easily cured with a well placed hand. I can block all ghosting without getting my hand in the picture even at 12mm. i dont use the lens hood, so I dont know how effective it is. this lens is large and it will cause horrible shadows with the built in flash or an attached speedlight. it will also cause shadows while in commander mode with a wireless set up. this is not a concern for me. I simply hold my speedligh in front of my built in flash in commander mode when ever I need a flash. I have used a nomal thickness UV filter with this lens (hoya 77mm) and i could see no distortion at all at any settings. I am a diehard nikkor fanantic, however, I am very impressed with this lens. I would definently recommmend this lens over the poorly built $1000 nikkor version.

I am not impressed by Bryan Thornhill's review, either he does not know how to use his camera or he is blind!, this lens is sharp sharp sharp! The only place it is not sharp is on the border at 100 percent! This lens compares very nicely with the Nikon version at half the price! Buy it!!

This lens is astonishingly good value. Price, build and optical quality really shine with this beauty.
Normally I am less than impressed with zoom lenses, I prefer primes. However I had owned Tokina lenses before with total satisfaction and so bought the 12-24mm for ultrawide shots on my Canon 400D.
Quite honestly I am hugely impressed with this lens. In my opinion it is very sharp over the whole frame by f5.6 (all my photography is done on a tripod for maximum sharpness). The build quality is easily as good as the best maker's lenses, the whole package exudes confidence and quality. At this price point the lens is a serious bargain, a keeper for sure.
Seemed great but had to return October 14, 2007

I purchased this lens from beach Camera on Amazon. When the package arrived i could hear a rattling in the package. The lens cap wasn't on. And after looking at the glass in sunlight i could see a defect on the outer edge of the glass. My guess is the lens cap did it. I emailed Beach Camera and they are taking it back. I did take the camera out for a few shots and was impressed. The sharpness and color saturation was very nice.
But i think i will get the Canon lens after reading the June 2. 2006 review above. It costs a lot but they do demand a much higher value when selling used.
I think many people would be happy with the Tokina lens that's why i gave it five stars.
