Enablement.
Thanks to Angel Ramos, PDML'er in Puerto Rico, I am now enabled with a
Tokina AT-X PRO 2.8/80-200mm AF.
It's a nice lens and I hope it's as good as it reputation, which is similar
to that of the Sigma 2.8/70-200mm APO, as far as sharpness goes.
I'm very pleased that I could get a

I have also had Tokina and Tamron AF lenses, and in my view they have
been more reliable than the Sigmas I've owned or borrowed.

I'm very happy with the performance of my Vivitar Series 1 70-210/3.5.
Very sharp and contrasty. However, I find my self using the DA 50-200
more and more, due to its size and excellent performance. The loss of a
stop plus isn't often a problem for me. However, I will pull out the
Vivitar when

But it's often too slow.
The FA 2.8 Pentax 80-200mm is almost three times as expensive as a similar

A Tokina 2.8 AT-X 80-200mm is only appr. 50% of the Sigma. This makes the

Jens, I don't know about the others but I have an
ATX 80-200/2.8 manual focus and I love it.
Bokeh is a bit harsh like the other Tokinas but
all in all a superb lens.
Cost me $249.00 US in excellent condition, had to
get it cleaned for $66.00 but Adorama reimbursed
me for that.
