Great lens for portrait
By Z. Cheng
I just received this lens this week. I would had thought that it was broken if I did not go through the instruction carefully. The aperture ring was set to the lowest f number when it arrived. I got the "FEE" message and my D200 will not take any picture after I attached the lens to the camera. I set the aperture ring back to the higherst f number and the camera recognize the lens perfectly. The pictures are crispy clear. This is a great lens for portrait. Other people already gave the good review already, and I am not going to repeat myself. I do want to point out a few concerns for this lens.1. You have to have a very steady hand, especially when you are taking indoor pictures. A tiny movement will cause considerable blur, so a tripod is recommanded. I guess this is common for macro lens at 100mm.2. You are not getting f2.8 everywhere. The aperture changes from different focal planes.3. The lens is not a fast lens due to the long focal length. You will probably need a flash if you are taking picture indoor.4. The lens feels heavy.

By S. Hall
For the price this is a remarkable lens. I really like the focus and the sharpness. I use it on a D200 and experienced great results. A must for the price conscience consumer who wants all the quality he can get for his bucks.

By M. Alberto Vazquez Rayas
I was looking for a macro lens (my first), I was considering Sigma 105mm and tamron 90mm all of them are good choices, but I get better price on this Tokina, The image quality is excellent, It's very sensitive to movement, you have to use a tripode o monopode, even use it on manual mode to catch good pictures. It says that is 2.8 but is 2.8 only when the subjetc is far away. if your subject is closer like 30 centimeters it becomes 4 o 4.5 (aperture). Good Color, very Sharp and a nice little dark buke. The autofocus is slow, but you have to be patient on this kind of pictures. I took some portraints and look great very good.
