Equipment Type: Lens
Equipment Brand: Tokina
Equipment Model: Minolta Tokina AT-X 270 AF Pro II 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8
Price (S$): 380
Description:
Typical for most Tokina AT-X lenses the build quality is exceptionally high due to an duraluminum-alloy frame. The broad and rubberized zoom and focus rings operate very smooth and very well damped. Unlike other f/2.8 standard zooms the lens does not change its physical length when zooming. Nonetheless there´s a moving inner lens tube (see the product shot above) but it never protrudes beyond the filter thread.
The lens features a so called focus-clutch mechanism which allows you to change between AF and MF operation by pushing/pulling the focus ring. Unfortunately it is a quite imperfect implementation because in conjunction you also have to use a 2nd conventional AF/MF switch. In order to switch back to MF, the focus ring has to be turned back into the exact position where it was disengaged (the AF 28-80mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro doesn´t suffer from all these limitations).
The noise during AF operation is relatively low but well noticeable (standard AF micro motor).
