Review on Premium Compatible Lens: TOKINA atx-m 85mm F1.8 for Sony FE Mount by Jay Jeong

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Really nice pictures but the autofocus was very bad at times on my A7rii

Received this lens today and took it for a test drive. The pictures were amazing. Images were also very clear with great bokeh. And now the saddest part, the autofocus sometimes stopped working on my Sony a7rii. But if I turn off the camera and then turn it back on, it works again. Other times when I switched it from AF-C to AF-A and then back it started working again. I guess I could live with that for normal portrait work, but sometimes I've used it for everyday activities. My Sony 85mm 1.8 is always accurate with autofocus and I don't miss a thing, but I like pictures better on Tokina. But unfortunately autofocus is very important so I had to send this beautiful lens back.

Pros
  • Fully compatible with Sony FE camera
Cons
  • Legacy model
