Tokina 12-24mm f/4.0.

Hi all. I have eben on a search for a wide angle lens lately and this lens has popped up on Craigslist lately. Comes with all papers, case, hood, both caps, box, and pouch. Hes asking $250. Does anyone have this lens or have used it? Id love to hear some reviews about it.

Thanks.
Mark

good lens and good price but i'd be scared buying a lens off ebay if it was not from a reputable company who can back it up.

I just got mine one week ago! Love it so far I bought the II version though. so it has its own AF motor.

It says craigslist so i'm assuming he would be meeting up somewhere to get it.

LOL so it does. for some reason I read Ebay, oh well NVM then.

Still though 4.0? does Tokina make this with 2.8?

ya they make a 11-16 f/2.8. i was thinking about getting it but i didn't want to lose the 17-24mm range since having f/2.8 wasn't a big deal to me. Both are great though.

I used it for a few years. It is a very good lens, it is even fairly sharp at F4 not that you would use it there much.

My dad has one of these and we both love it. It's VERY heavy and takes great shots.
