KP & Tokina AT-X 28-85mm f3.5-4.5

OK, I broke out some older MF lenses while going through my shelves and digging up cameras that need cleaning. I happened upon my old Tokina AT-X mf lens. I slapped it on my KP and stepped out into our garden for a few quick photo's simply because I did not remember how this lens performed.

It was as I suspected.

In all fairness the pic I posted was shot with the lens fully thrown at its widest aperture, so ya, there's that. All in all, the lens is pretty soft, and I wasn't impressed at all. I guess I could give it a fair shake and put it through some proper shooting, but I really don't think that is necessary.

A pic of the lens mounted on KP, shot on my desktop with my Kodak PS Z885



Here's the flower shot wide open lens fully extended to 85mm, probably a stop or so underexposed, but no need to get the image perfect as it wasn't a going to be a perfect image no matter what.
