    Overview

    The Tokina AF 28-70 mm f/2.8-4.5 is a variable-aperture zoom for full-frame and APS-C cameras. Optically, it offers decent sharpness in the center but soft corners, especially at wider apertures. Chromatic aberration and distortion are noticeable. Build quality is solid with a metal mount, but the autofocus is slow and noisy. Handling is acceptable for its era. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking a versatile standard zoom who can tolerate its optical and AF limitations.
