Tokina 50-135 f2.8

Hi does anyone have any experience and sample pictures using the tokina 50-135 f2.8 ? Hows the handling and performance indoor and outdoors ?

I'm a 50 -135 user.

The lens is sharp but slightly slow if u are used to AFS or HSM lens.

However, the weight is not as heavy as a 70-200 so you can handheld it during low light and still get clear sharp shots.

The bokeh is also good for portraits. YOu can check out the recent 070707 shoot organized by Baby fairy and posted by Whatsupgunho. He borrowed my lens for the shoot.

Cheerios and pm me if u need more of my humble opinions. =)

The lens IQ looks pretty good. So does the bokeh. Thanks for the leads Prataz
