Overview

The Tokina 200mm f/3.5 RMC lens shows significant optical weaknesses, with one user describing it as 'very poor' (stingOM). Wide open at f/3.5, images are soft and exhibit heavy chromatic aberration, which reduces to acceptable levels at mid apertures (Lloydy). Build quality is good, with the reviewer's copy in mint condition (iangreenhalgh1). The lens may suit users who prioritize compactness and are willing to stop down for improved sharpness, but it is not recommended for those demanding high resolution or low CA wide open.
