Thinking of buying a Tokina 28-70 2.8 Atx Af F. Price is around $170 2nd hand...in good condition. What are peoples opinions...has anyone got any experience with this lens. All reviews I've found on net are positive....

I paid a lot more than that and I'm very happy with mine

lens arrived this morning. few days late but it seems that was local couriers fault. Had a brief play with it and it seems to be a good buy!

it is, maybe not a Nikon one but good to play with!
I got one................

Cons: Af it's not a rocket and at 2.8 it's a bit soft.......4.5 it's start to be great but 5.6-8/11 it is fantastic!
Enjoy it.

Had a wander through an old abandoned hospital today with this lens. It wasnt wide enough for walkabout. Will make a good portrait lens i think...some results here:
