2003-09-19 Thread Paul Delcour
Hi all, anyone know and/or use this zoom? I have found the following on: http://medfmt.8k.com/third/cult.html#tokina Tokina 28-85mm f/4 RMC and f/3.5-4.5 ATX Tokina designed an RMC f/4 version of this lens which had a constant aperture, unlike the later ATX variable aperture version.

Also forgot to mention I also bought a tokina RMC 400mm F5.6 which is also of excellent++ quality. I think the trend is the early 80's tokina RMC lens lineup is G O O D !!! JCO A french book on macro photography found that the Tokina 200/3.5 was remarquable when used with tubes for close-ups.
