    Overview

    The RMC Tokina 80-200mm f/4.5 is an affordable vintage zoom with solid metal construction and a push-pull zoom/focus ring, which can be handy for smooth zooming. Optically, it produces a dreamy look wide open and decent sharpness stopped down, but it lags behind the f/2.8 version in contrast, color, and sharpness at all apertures. It suits budget-conscious users needing a telephoto zoom for video or as a temporary solution until upgrading to better glass.
