| Latest Review Posted | Tokina ( SL17 / RMC ) 17mm F3.5
I have the RMC version, which as far as I know, is the same as the SL.
Built like a manual focus Pentax lens. Focus and aperture rings are very solid and smooth feeling.
Noticeable barrel distortion of straight lines near the edge, which is acceptable, as any SLR lens of this focal length has some. Color rendition is colder than Pentax. Flare resistance is good. I don't think the coating is as good as Pentax SMC, but not many are. Its compact size for its focal length makes it perfect for my MX, ME Super, and LX.
I managed to find the specified Tokina lens hood, RH-672, which is a rubber petal-type clamp-on. A great lens, and an excellent value. |
