Review on 📸 Tokina Opera 16-28mm F2.8 Nikon F Mount Lens: High-performance Wide-angle Photography by Darlene Malone

I just received the lens and am still testing it. For now, this is an excellent lens for a quality, wide-angle, "budget" zoom lens. I bought it mostly for the net worth of other competing lenses ranging from $900 to $1200 for less or equal performance on paper. The lens feels really good in the hand as it is (I think) mostly metal. This lens is very similar to the Sigma brand lens. It has a very nice way of toggling between AF and MF which I like, basically you're pushing or pulling the focus ring, so it's very easy and quick between toggling, I'll have to see how it holds up. Image quality has been pretty good so far, I'll have to test it more for a more detailed review. The odd thing I noticed when I got it was that it was very dusty on both ends, which you can see very clearly with this lens. I also wish they had a nice soft case to carry the lens with them, but it doesn't cost much and it comes with a quality rear lens cap and front cap.
