The Tokina Difference:

Mechanisms:

•All metallic moving parts are coated with a special lubricant to improve durability

•Tokina’s independently developed technology maintains the high precision of mechanical fittings, accurately measured in microns

•Micron tolerances also give smooth operation and durability to operating rollers and internal focus cams

•Brass is used in the lens mount to maintain high precision. Other mechanisms are plated with hard chrome for optimum durability

Exterior Finish:

•PRO models have a hardened Armalite finish to increase durability and give a top-quality feel and finish

•Ergonomic designs emphasize control,

grip and ease of operation with textured rubber used on zoom and focus barrels.

Operation:

•Use of special alloy Duralumin for metal parts provides excellent durability, stabilizes torque and provides better handling. It also maintains smoother operation under all conditions.

•A special lubricant formulated to perform even under extreme temperatures, is used on moving parts

•Unique lens coating makes the lenses resistant to flare and ghosting, and helps them achieve faithful color reproduction

Features the exclusive “Focus Clutch Mechanism” for auto and manual focusing that is much faster and smoother than other lenses. As with all Tokina AT-X AF lenses, this lens is constructed using all aluminum lens barrels and a chrome-plated, brass mount plate. The first lens group is made from two elements of high quality SD (Super Low Dispersion) glass to minimize chromatic aberration. The patented Internal Rear Focus (IRF) system moves smaller lens groups within the lens barrel, which is useful for long telephoto lens designs. The IRF system also allows faster auto focusing and a more compact lens design.
