    Overview

    The Tokina AF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 is a low-cost, high-quality FX ultrawide zoom praised for sharpness comparable to Nikon's best, except the 16-35 VR and 14-24mm. Its all-metal build is tough and precise, with smooth manual focus and aperture rings, making it suitable for film and digital cameras. Weaknesses include a restricted zoom range on DX and no autofocus on entry-level Nikon bodies like the D40. It suits FX and 35mm users seeking an affordable, durable wide-angle zoom.
