75–300mm · f/4.5–5.6
The Tokina AF 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Macro is a heavy, all-metal lens with solid build quality. Optical strengths include good sharpness at most focal lengths, excellent color rendition, and minimal distortion. Weaknesses are softness at 300mm and slow, noisy autofocus that hunts in low light. It offers decent macro capabilities and produces nice bokeh. Best suited for casual shooters or those starting in macro/telephoto on a budget, especially if using a tripod at the long end.
