A few test pictures taken with the vintage Tokina 35-200mm lens.............

Below are several test pictures that were taken with the new vintage Tokina 35-200mm F4-5.6 lens that I recently purchased.

The first picture with the small statue at first might appear to have a "White Balance" problem, but that is not the case...the statue is probably 50 years old and stained a natural green color. Please note the white colored handle on the paint bucket.

The second picture are some empty water bottles. I was just curious how they would look.

The third picture are a few colorful items from our food pantry that I took a picture of to see what the colors would appear like in a picture.

The verdict is still out on this lens, haven't determined whether it is a keeper or not. I really need to take some pictures out in the field before I make the final determination as to whether or not it is a keeper. Kelley (Texas)

I agree with Frank. The pictures are nice and crisp. The beans are making me hungry.

not to bad at all i have always rated tokina lenses ,depends in the end what you want from it . these days i 99% of the time use a sigma sports lens the ability to fine tune your lens to suit your own style on the computer is a MEGA jump imho .

owned a couple of the old tokinas and sigmas over the years always turned out good pics ,these days its getting really complicated and lets face it most camera bodies have gone as far as they can go ,the only difference is more bells and whistles whether needed or not .

How about the recent development of the mirror less digital cameras with the smaller, lighter bodies with advanced designed sensors. You can't discount the modern bridge camera either which is a DSLR with a glued on lens, which are also becoming smaller with longer zoom lenses. You can't ignore the folks now taking pictures with cell phones either. I feel that we still have a long ways to go in photography, nowhere near the limit yet. Just my humble opinion on this subject.
