Description

Autofocus Macro Lens From the Manufacturer When used on digital SLR cameras, the Tokina AT-X M35 PRO DX lens gives the same angle of view as a 52mm lens. The close focusing distance of the M35 is an amazingly close 5.5 in. (14cm), yielding a macro ratio of 1:1 or life-sized reproduction with excellent sharpness. Its compact size makes it easy to carry almost everywhere and the wide f/2.8 aperture allows for easier viewing in low light situations. The front element of the AT-X M35 PRO DX has a newly formulated WR or "Water Repellent" optical coating on the glass. This new coating makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much easier to clean than standard multi-coating. Please note, the Tokina AT-X M35 PRO DX lens itself is not waterproof or water resistant. Tokina’s exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus manually. There is no second AF/MF switch on the lens for Canon, everything is accomplished by the focus ring.

  • When image quality is a priority
Firstly, I love this lens! The results are simply amazing. I have 6 lenses, and this is my favorite. This is an excellent choice if you were looking to get a standard lens. It offers excellent image quality at a low price. But let us establish this lens in the context of the other comparable choices. The fact of the matter is, that when you consider all the approximately standard prime budget lenses on a crop, i.e., approximately ~30mm, you have a number of options, such as the Canon 28mm f/1.8, 28mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2 or the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and the choice at hand, the Tokina 35mm f/2.8. Each is unfortunately flawed in some way. The most common flaw is horrible edge sharpness, but other issues include slow AF, inaccurate AF, chromatic aberrations, just plain soft, high minimum aperture or combinations thereof. Of the choices available, what tokina offers is good edge to edge sharpness, with an excellent center sharpness, at the expense of a slower AF and higher minimal aperture. That said, the AF is incredibly fast, albeit insignificantly more noisy, but most importantly, the sigma and canon options have also been known to be inaccurate, despite USM/HSM, where the tokina seems to be pretty much dead on each time, and quickly. So the choice becomes where your priorities lie. Image quality to me is of paramount importance, and this is why I got the tokina. As with most macros, a typically conservative aperture makes this lens very sharp, even wide open. In fact, MTF results suggest it is sharper (generally border to border) at mimimum aperture than the competitors above at f/2.8, which is stopped down for its competitors. If your stopping down beyond f/2.8 with other lenses to achieve a certain quality, you wont need to for this lens, making it faster in practice than a faster lens you need to stop down with. The image quality is comparable to my canon 60mm f/2.8 which is a massive claim for those who know the 60mm macro, and an impressive result for a lens in this price class. However, the 60mm is insignificantly sharper, and even more so at the edges, but the contrast and colours of the Tokina are absolutely amazing. The build quality is superb, featuring a metal construction that is usually reserved for lenses well outside this price class. It's a joy to use. One reason I gave it 4/5 and not 5/5 for ease of use is an issue I have with the AF/MF switch and the focus limiter. The switch to AF/MF is a little clunky as you move the ring around the frontal barrel towards the camera for MF and away for AF. Also, while the focus limiter works excellently, it is too easy to move the switch to half way between full and limited focus, which is not a valid setting and the lens wont AF at all. Overall, as a standard lens, it may not be the best in low light conditions, but the image quality is absolutely fantastic. Contrast, colours, sharpness and even AF are just done better than other budget options. Edit: For full frame users, or those who are thinking of going full frame, while this lens is marked as a "DX" or crop only lens, IT DOES WORK ON A FULL FRAME CANON CAMERA (tested on a 5D and 6D) as a 35mm lens, there is more vignetting than usual, but when mounted on a full frame, there is NO REDUCED IMAGE CIRCLE. ps. Almost all crop-only lenses have a reduced image circle, so this is an unusual feature of the lens. In general, mounting some crop only lenses may be long enough to interfere with a full frame mirror, potentially damaging it. I tested on a old full frame film camera before trying on a full frame digital camera. ... show more

  • Noisy Motor. Lens hunts in auto focus. Annoying switch from manual to autofocus
I was so excited to get this lens for my Canon 40D after reading positive reviews elsewhere -- but the copy I got was horrible. First, the lens wouldn't communicate with the camera -- a problem I've never had before. I cleaned the connection pins and got it to work when in manual focus. The pictures I managed to take while in an auto-shooting mode were all a bit overexposed. To switch to auto focus, you have to pop out the manual focus ring (i.e., grab that textured ring and pull)... which is kind of ridiculous. I really question how many times the ring can be pulled and pushed before something goes wrong. I was never able to take a photo with auto focus. The lens just hunted and hunted (and boy is the motor loud!). Given the weird manual/auto switch and the fact that others have complained about the hunting problem, I'm not inclined to order another copy of this lens. ... show more

  • Versatile, sharp lens - poor quality control
This Tokina lens takes very sharp pictures. The maximum aperture of 2.8 is not bad for indoor shooting, but not spectacular. For low-light shooting you will need faster glass. This lens makes a fine walk-around lens for a crop-sensor DSLR. The bonus macro feature is useful, but requires getting so close to the subject that lighting can be a problem. I had to return this lens after less than a week because the focus mechanism failed. The manual focusing bound up. It appeared that the gears inside simply didn't line up properly. The push-pull clutch system used to switch from manual to auto focus seemed a bit kludgy even before it failed, for what that's worth. I am not taking a chance on exchanging it. I chose to spend the extra money to replace it with the Sigma 30mm f1.4. While Sigma is known to have issues with focusing accuracy, I am not aware that their lenses are prone to outright mechanical failure. (The Sigma is also two stops faster - but no macro feature.) ... show more

  • If only.....
I obtained this lens for use on my Canon 60D after reading some great reviews. After a few hundred shots with it and detailed analysis I found that the lens was front focusing. I tested various lenses to make sure it wasnt the camera but it wasnt. Photos look great in all other respects and build quality and ease of use of the lens are first rate. Mine must have been a bad sample of what looks like an otherwise great lens. This is disappointing for such a simple lens. ie fixed focal length, not super fast. I have had Tokina back in the film era and liked them. This was my first Tokina for a long time but I think I'll stick to the Canon range now.... I would love to see results from a good one though...... ... show more
