What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Tokina 28-70, f2. Is a great lens for the price. It is very sharp and easy to focus on with manual focus. The lens is very lightweight and has a very good lens-lense balance.
Highlights
Quality
I gave it a try and am very happy with the lense
To my suprise it came with the tulip shade and it is a good one
At the other end of the range 28mm the image quality is crisper across the frame and seems somewhat better than the 1224 at 24mm
At the wide end 12mm the image quality is good but not as sharp out near the edges as the tokina 1224
Price
This lens is definitely worth the price
I already have the canon 1018mm but when i saw this lens on sale for a really really good price i nabbed one up
Tokina is perhaps known for their low cost ultra wide range of lenses
Packaging/appearance
I have used the tokina 1224 f4 on three trips to europe
Competitiveness
Im an amature photographer and have all canon equipment
Overallits still a hard pick over competitors such as tokinas renowned 11161120 2
My second tokina lens and i would not trade either for anything else

Sharpnesswide open looks fairly tacky with corner and edges looking pretty nice overall

Ultrawide lenses typically get neglected in the stabilization department

The extra reach on the long end does make this lens more versatile as it brings it to a fairly normal focal range but a stop slower will hurt those with weak iso cameras

The autofocusing motor is not as quiet as they claim and sometimes makes a clakking noise that sounds odd

My complaint about this lens and the reason i am returning it twice is that it does not autofocus properly with my canon t2i
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I can not figure out why this is but i have tested it extensively and i can not get it to autofocus reliably
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I returned the first one and got a replacement and the second one acts the same way
