Overview

The Tokina Wide-Auto 28mm f/2.8 is a budget-friendly vintage lens with solid build quality, featuring metal and glass construction and a long focus throw. Optically, it offers good sharpness wide open, improving when stopped down, though extreme corners remain soft. Contrast and flare control are good, with minor blue flares. Chromatic aberration is mild and correctable. Barrel distortion is present but common for the focal length. It suits landscape and travel photographers on a budget, especially on APS-C sensors.
