I take lots of pic’s and had serious AF-problems with the Tokina 50-135 not focusing where i wanted on my Nikon D200.
However when i cranked up the ISO to at least 500 it works 99% perfect.
Any ideas on that ?

Tokina 50-135 is awsome !!!!!! for it picture quality and it price as well. I got mine second hand for $400.
The previous owner said he can not use it coz it has no VR, But I think we just need to keep the shutter speed always up. by this methode I can get a lot of razor sharp picture out door. I am mount it with Nikon D7K. It is briliant. I event not think to get rid off my prime nikon 50mm 1.4g and also my sigma 17-50 OS.
I am not promoting my self but seach my flickr account user name: local_82 Picture of Darrel is taken by Tokina 50-135.

[...] flare in the frame, but I love Suki’s expression. Taken with my now retired Nikon D300s and Tokina 50-135. Two strobes to my right are combating the really bright background to provide light on [...]

Hey Jonathan, came across your blog while researching the tokina 50-135 for my 7d. Ended up buying it from a bird photography. He let it go for a pretty sweet deal I think 450 cad. Anyway love the lens so far. Keep up the good work.

Cheers
Ed

Thanks for the comment! Yes, it has been a while, but I’ll always have great things to say about the Tokina 535. My S90 is sitting on my desk right next to me as I type this. Definitely my favorite compact ever. Thanks again!

Thanks for the information in this post I know it’s been a while since you wrote it but from reading comments, this post and of course reviews on the net I think I might have found my next lens for a good price. Cheers! Btw, I have a S90 in my pocket too Aren’t they great?

Hi,

Yes, there is some noise from the AF motor in your camera driving the lens with the Tokina, but I never found it to be bothersome. AF speed depends on what you’ll be using it for. My cousin shoots lots of weddings with this lens on a D90 and never complains about AF speed, so that should tell you something. Hope this helps =)
