    Overview

    The Tokina 75-300mm f/3.5-4.5 SZ-X 730 is a well-built metal and glass lens, noted for good sharpness even wide open, with best image quality at f/11 and authentic colors. Chromatic aberrations are minor at the tele end wide open, disappearing when stopped down. The autofocus is fast and accurate but may hunt in low light; manual focus has a short throw. The lens is heavy, which some may find a drawback. It suits users seeking an affordable, solid telephoto zoom for film or APS-C digital, especially those who can micro-adjust AF.
