300mm · f/2.8
The Tokina AT-X 300 AF PRO 300mm f/2.8 is a 1990s ultra-telephoto lens praised for its sharpness even wide open at f/2.8 and smooth bokeh. It exhibits significant lateral CA in high-contrast situations. Built like a tank with a responsive manual focus ring, it lacks instant manual override. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking an alternative to expensive 300mm f/2.8 lenses, though autofocus versions are older and slower.
