This Lens Will Burst Your Bokeh Bubble

For such an affordable price this lens is worth checking out if you love bokeh. It's manual focus with a fixed aperture and fixed focal length. As such, be aware you might shoot with a high ISO if in darker conditions so you might want a tripod so you can lower the ISO and also b/c there's no image stabilization. Handheld was fine for me but you can literally feel the camera wavering a bit (figured my in camera IS would come to the rescue in this case). It's very light. You'll want to use focus peaking to help identify focus and it seems the focus is linear versus a center spot. It comes in 500mm also which has the same effects so I almost wish I bought that one for more reach so keep that in mind. This is a fun lens to create bokeh overlays with. I give it two thumbs up!

sharp enough and surprisingly usable

I've felt the need for a longer lens every time I've visited the zoo. I can't justify the cost of a super-long Nikkor, but this Tokina is inexpensive enough that I could talk myself into the purchase. It's small and light enough that it won't get left at home. I'll take it to the zoo on every visit. It has its disadvantages over the Nikkors - manual focus only, not weather sealed, and fixed f/stop. But it's enough lens for my needs. It's sharper than many lenses I've owned over the years, though not Nikkor-Z-sharp. A little tweaking in post-processing and the images are just fine, even with reasonable cropping. It's fast enough with reasonable ISOs for the shooting conditions I use it for. With peaking turned on, focusing isn't bad at all; but I've got years of practice from before autofocus was a thing. I'm more than satisfied with this lens.
