Awesome Lens!
This particular lens was made for the "crop body" cameras, although I personally use it on my 5d "full frame" camera and it works amazingly! The corners do round off slightly but nothing to complain about. It's easily cropped.
My initial thought was to purchase the Canon 35mm f2 but when I saw the price difference, I had to at least give tokina a try. Tokina is the main lens I use, from wide angle to zoom and have never had any problems. I've compared their quality to L lenses I've owned and I see no significant difference besides the physical color of the lenses and price of course. But quality is spot on and can compare with Canon Ls.
You can't go wrong with the Tokina 35mm prime. Specially with it's macro capabilities allows you to focus at a mear 5". WOW!
The only deterent for most people in todays world is asthetics. Nowadays, folks that are bitten by the photo bug are more concerned about what gear they own, how fast their lens is, what color their lens is, looking like a pro, etc, etc, rather than their composition, quality and shooting style. Sad.. but true! LOL.
So this lens will never pass for a "L" lens asthetically, but once they see the photo quality it produces, I'm sure they won't be able to tell it wasn't shot with a "L" lens. Just my 2 cents.Read full review...
Very good as a regular lens on DX
Very pleased with the purchase of this lens. I chose it for a long time, watched him and read reviews. but when I tried this lens on the case, the result exceeded all my expectations. Very nice lens, price and quality is very good. lens is very sharp, even at aperture 2.8. A convenient focal length of 35 mm. Plus, everything else has macro mode. the only thing that might alienate fans of quality close-up that distance to the subject a little, which is 10 cm and so the lens is pretty good for its price, it justifies all 150%. Very good as a regular lens on DX. Would recommend.Read full review...
Great multi purpose normal lens.
Very sharp normal lens on dx cameras.
Equal to about a 52.5mm on dx cameras.
Fast enough for most low light conditions.
Light enough to carry around all day for general shots, lenses of this focal length usually compared to ones general angle of vision if that's on your plate for the day.
A plus, two lenses in one if you're into close up photography
you have the macro setting on this lens.Read full review...
