The Nikon was just overpriced, frankly, and its VR doesn't come into play with really close work. The Tamron is quite similar in function and form to the Tokina but was fifty bucks more. After buying the Tokina I just laugh at the notion that more money gets you anything qualitatively and functionally better. Why? Because AF can only get you in the neighborhood for most close up work and you'll need to manually refine your focal plane anyways. At this point you might as well invest more $$ in lighting and other gadgets to improve your output rather than follow a name brand. If you are in the market for a sharp macro lens, get the Tokina and you'll see what I mean. 33 of 34 people found the following review helpful: Another great lens from Tokina, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Tokina 100/2.8 ATX Digital Ready 1:1 AF-D Macro Lens for Nikon USA (Electronics) This is the second Tokina Lens I've bought (the first being the 11-16). I have to say, what a fantastic lens, at around half the price of the competition.Tokinas have a few quirks, the most unusual being the focus clutch. I still don't like it. It works, but it's too awkward, especially for this lens. The push-pull action requires so much force that you'll loose the shot every time, even on the tripod. Nikon's over-ride system is so much nicer, and you get so used to it that Tokina's attempt is just so damn clunky (and believe me, it comes with a noise too). I keep forgetting when I have a Tokina on, and keep trying to over-ride the focus. I can't get used to it, and am not sure I want to. The build quality is first rate. Seriously, this is build quality you'd expect on a lens for 3 times the price. it's heavy, and heavy is good. the Optics are also first rate, it's incredibly sharp. Without spending hours taking photos of charts, I don't see any chromatic...

It was very evident that a minumum of a 100mm lens was a must. I was initially very interested in the Nikon and then came across information that the Tokina macro was designed by developers from Nikon. Plus the cost of the Nikon put me off. I've been so pleased with the Tokina macro so far. Filming orchids yesterday and the images were exceptional - even in low light. I then turned the lens on my wife, they are not kidding macro lens are great for portrait photograhy. I highly recommend this lens. This is my third Tokina lens, I own the 80-400mm and the 12-24mm wide angle. Tokina keeps surprising me with the excellent sharpnest, ease of use and rugged body. I love Nikon but Tokina is moving up in the ranks. A quality lens for those with a small budget. |
