Good things come to those who wait, right? Well, not this time, I'm afraid. There are a few things that we've got used to expect from a higher grade standard zoom lens in the years since this lens was initially announced, like optical stabilization and a supersonic AF drive. The Tokina lens has neither - well, Tokina in general has neither. The lens doesn't even feature an integrated AF motor and that alone renders it very unattractive for the majority of Nikon DX shooters.

Although the performance at the wide end of the zoom is excellent, this lens' performance further into the zoom range at maximum aperture is a disappointment, especially as this lens is more expensive than the manufacturer’s own offerings and doesn't include any stabilisation technology, which would really help if shooting with the lens stopped down in lower lighting conditions. Saying that, the extra wide angle range is useful, the build quality is good and the performance when stopped down is excellent for this kind of lens, so it may be of interest to some. Unfortunately most people after a lens like this will benefit more from image stabilisation, than from the wider view offered by this optic.
