Item Description
Hey guys,
Looking to sell my Tokina AT-X 300mm F2.8 SD lens. It's a beast lens, 112mm filter threads, something like 5lbs. It is manual focus, has the "A" contacts for auto-exposure on Pentax DSLRs. I bought it used about a year ago but haven't used it as much as I'd like so I'm putting it up for sale.
The lens is in really great condition (as you can see from the pics). Looks basically new, no marks or anything to really note. Probably if you looked real close you could tell it from new. The glass is excellent, no fungus or scratches or anything that will hurt image quality.
The lens has a great manual focus feel, only requiring light torque to turn but still buttery smooth as a manual focus lens should be. It was easier to focus this lens that I thought it would be. The lens lacks some contrast wide open, but still produces usable results (especially w/ post process sharpen), and of course has some creamy bokeh at that setting. Stopped down some things get real sharp.
It comes with the original box/manual/case/etc....here's what you get:
- Lens!
- 112mm protective filter
- 112mm screw-in lens cap
- rear lens cap
- big, deep hood that clamps down with a screw (reversible for storage)
- Soft storage pouch, doubles as a soft lens cap that fits over the hood during use
- Hard storage/transport case with shoulder strap
- box
- Tokina lens booklet
Here is a set of photo I took with this lens at the park, soon after I originally purchased it.

And a set of photos I took with it (and a bounced flash) of our young cats indoors. Who would have thought a 300mm lens could be used to take pictures of cats indoors!.
