    Overview

    The Tokina 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 RMC is a compact vintage zoom offering a versatile wide-to-short-telephoto range. Optically, it delivers good sharpness, especially at f/8 where it becomes razor sharp (MFlenses), with very saturated colors and outstanding greens/blues (MFlenses). Weaknesses include a rotating front element (MFlenses) and some chromatic aberration, though easily corrected. Build is typical of older zooms, with a two-ring design. It suits budget-conscious shooters seeking a characterful, all-purpose lens for film or adapted mirrorless use.
