    Overview

    The RMC Tokina 35-105mm f/3.5 is a vintage manual-focus zoom with a constant f/3.5 aperture, offering a flexible range for walk-around and portraits. It features all-metal construction and Tokina's RMC coatings for rich color and contrast. Optically, it shows good center sharpness but soft edges at f/3.5, improving by f/8; at f22, sharpness drops slightly. It can close-focus to 1:4 at 105mm. The push-pull zoom action is smooth. It suits photographers who enjoy manual focus on film or adapted to mirrorless, typically costing $50-100 used.
