Excellent lens I love the colours produced by the lens. I am uploading the unedited pics that came straight out of my Nikon d7500
Tokina AF 16-50mm F2.8 AT-X 165 Pro DX Lens This lens has exceeded my expectations, producing sharp images with very little distortion and natural color rendition. It is a heavy lens, with a very solid feel and may be a bit heavy for a D70, but balances quite well on a D300. At 50mm it is able to focus as close as 7 inches. The focusing is fast and accurate. The closest lens with a similar focal range in the Nikon line-up is the AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D, costing three times as much. This lens is definitely worth a look, especially if you pinching pennies.
Great performance for a fantastic value. Great lens! I'd rate IQ good to very good wide open and excellent stopped down 2.8. I did need AF fine tune on my D7000, but given similar issues that could be a body issue as much as a lens issue. Once dialed in, it's fantastic. Lens isn't small or light, construction is excellent, lens is solid and well built. Overall it isn't a Nikon 17-55, but it isn't a $1300 lens either. Great performance for a fantastic value.
