    Overview

    The Tokina AT-X AF 28-70mm f/2.8 is a full-frame fast medium zoom praised as a budget-friendly alternative to pricier Nikon f/2.8 zooms. It features all-metal construction and a focus clutch. Optically, it is slightly soft and lacks contrast at f/2.8 but becomes excellent from f/4 onward; it is super sharp most of the time. The 28-70mm range is awkward on DX but useful on FX. It suits users seeking an affordable, well-built f/2.8 zoom for full-frame cameras, though it won't autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs.
