The Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro is a macro lens capable of life-sized (1:1) reproduction at an amazingly close 5.5" (14cm). Designed exclusively for use with digital SLR cameras, this lens features a fast constant aperture of f/2.8, and provides a focal length equivalent to 52mm in 35mm format.
As part of the AT-X line, this lens is designed to provide excellent optical quality, and offers advanced features like the WR (Water Repellent) front element, its One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism, and a 9-bladed aperture. The excellent lens for short closeup photography.
Note! Not recommended for use with "full-frame" FX digital or 35mm film SLR cameras. AF not supported by D40, D60, D3000 and D5000 cameras.
- WR Coating
- WR (Water Repellent) coating made of a special compound has been applied to the front surface of the lens through the use of a unique evaporation process. As a result, the lens offers excellent water- and oil-repellent performance and makes for easier cleaning should the lens be accidentally smeared with fingerprints or cosmetics.
- One Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism
- The One Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows for fast and easy switching between manual and auto focus from any position. This improvement means that it is not necessary to change the AF/MF switch (on the body with Nikon or the lens with Canon) every time the lens is changed from auto focus to manual focus mode.
- 9-Blade Aperture
- The rounded diaphragm opening (9 blades) makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
I had read a great nimber of positive reviews on this lens, so I decided to try it for myself. The lens imparts a special quality beyond just sharpness and tecnical accuracy. There is a depth to the images, a "roundness" as some old school shooters used to the Rolleiflex. Very happy with this lens.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
I've had this lens for over a year. I bought it from B&H. I sold my Nikkor 35 f/1.8G. There was no comparison. The lens is better than the Nikkor as a walk-around and has the added benefit of 1:1 macro but I use it mostly for flowers and it is spectacular. Very sharp, excellent bokkeh. It is also a good portrait lens and does not have some of the distortion issues I saw with the Nikkor. The lens construction is superior to the Nikkor.
I love Nikkor products but the Tokina beats the Nikkor hands down.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
Good lens to have.I had the Nikon 35 F/1.8 ,and I saw that the Tokina had less flare but more color in it's image.I used it at parks nice concentration of color.The focus speed with this lens is ah!! Okay.The Boken is not so great compared to the Nikon 35mm.Was thinking of trading it but there is nothing out there in this quality and made in Japan.Don't forget of the little macro it has that is good for the price.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
I tried several 35mm for Nikon... and I decided with this one, mostly because of the sharpness and less chromatic aberration comparing, for example, to the Nikon 1.8G.
With this price, you get also a "macro-like" capabilities, which is worth while if you do use seldom on flowers or food.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
I have only really taken a few shots with this lens but the few I have taken look great. I also really like the macro feature. Since I have a D3000 the lens doesn't do AF but I like using manual focus for macro type pictures.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
My wife uses the lens to shoot close-ups of flowers and other plants as well as household objects. She and I both agree that the quality of the shots is outstanding. Being new to macro photography, focusing does take some getting used to.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
Have had this for few months now and love it. Been using it for portrait work, carry around snap shot lens and some macro stuff. Use it on a D90. So far I've found it to be very sharp, focus is fast enough for me and colors look great. It is sharp through all the f stop range from what I can see. Build quality is real good, heavy and solid. This is the first non-Nikon lens I'm happy with. I've had a Tamron and returned to BH a while back. I would recommend this lens to others

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
I bought this lens to fill a specific need and found it to be much more than I expected. The lens is very useful as a lens in the normal range for DX cameras, works well for a macro when increased working distance is not required, and produces very sharp images in all situations. I use this lens frequently with a ring light flash and the performance is impressive.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
I am using this as my walk around lens on a D90. Pictures from tripod are amazingly crisp. Just need to work on my hand held technique for the not so close up shots. Might be a little too short for real macro work - I tend towards close ups. But even three inches away - very nice.

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
This is the only and most flexible macro lens in the market. Sharp, fast, light, and the macro capability is super useful.
I got Tokina 11-16, 28-70, 80-400, 100 macro, all work great. And this one is the most useful among them. Tokina rocks!!!

Comments about Tokina 35mm f/2.8 AT-X M35 Pro DX Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon Digital:
Used with my Nikon D300s. Solid construction. A super "walk around" lens. Much better made then the DX nikons. I love this lens.
Minor gripe, when I put the camera in my back pack the lens goes into manuel mode.

Great for super close ups. Versatile and smooth. I like it for everything I've asked it to do. It is a bit heavy, but that is what you get with a quality build and the macro capabilities.
