    Thanks so much for the review.
    I recognize the Tokin drawing. Looks like my 28-70.
    In 80-200 softness appears in the entire range of focal or closer to the long end? At 28-70, for example, up to 50 mm, the lens is very sharp, at 70 it starts to noticeably soft.

    I am the owner of this lens. I really like the drawing, but at first I suffered with it. Until I got used to the fact that there is a lot of softness at 200 - either clamping to 4 - 5,6 or setting the focus to 180, then everything is fine.

    and vivitar 70-210 will be better in drawing even though there is no constant aperture of 2,8

    Yeah, for such a price is a pretty good alternative to native glasses. And about the build quality in Tokyo, I generally keep quiet - as always pleasing.

    Arkady, please advise what is better to choose: native 80 200 2.8 (ІІІ), or Tokin from the review + native AF 85mm 1.8 for change?

    I have Tokina AT-X AF SD 80-200mm 1: 2.8, non-autofocus. The drawing is excellent, the colors are bright and natural. At 200 mm there is a slight drop in sharpness, but this is noticeable only when comparing images at high magnification. I’m bastard from the lens, I did not expect that there would be such a picture quality. It is quite comparable with the Nikkors of the more expensive series 80-200 and 70-200 (compared with 80-200mm / 2.8). There are no words about mechanics at all: just fine. For video, a very convenient glass.

    Considering the interest in the manual version of this lens, I will share my experience of using it. The optical schemes in manual and autofocus versions are identical, so there is practically no difference in the drawing. Constructive - as monumental as a tank, dust does not "suck". At the long end, at open values, soft, CA, XA are present in sufficient quantity. At 80-170mm everything is much better. Nikkoru 80-200 \ 2,8 is noticeably inferior in terms of the picture, but also noticeably wins in price. The nature of the back blur - I was not personally impressed, which is quite unexpected for Tokina. Having in my "arsenal" 8 lenses with similar RFs, I rarely use this "Tokin" due to its significant weight and dimensions. Of the alternatives close in price, I think “Olympus 65-200 \ 4” and “Vivitar Ser. 1 70-210 \ 3,5 (Tokina)” are more preferable despite the lower aperture ratio. At the same time - this lens is definitely worth its current money! Examples shot with Canon 40d.

      Awesome photo! In the comments of other people, the pictures are specifically soft, but your sharpness is excellent. It looks like it was taken from different lenses
