This lens came to me as a second-hand, but the condition was quite well. Not a single scratch on the glass.The first thing that impressed me is that the sharpness is quite well even wide open. Actually I use f3.5 all the time and the outcomes are superb. Secondly, the color is rich and vivid. It does have some drawbacks :It flares when using in the backlighting, and the focus ring is not smooth. But in general this a great lens made in Germany.

I had studied several 70-210s (including VIVITAR 70-210-3.5,dal 50-200 etc.)before I bought this TOKINA 70 210 f4.5. All because I wanted something autofocus. By reading this review, I thought the TOKINA AF745 was a good one until I finally took some pics with it. Maybe I just have too much expectations of it or It was born a mediocre one, I was disappointed by its performance.Although it was well built and autofocus speed was fast ,it was not sharp even stopped down to f8, besides it had low contrast.
I have the DA50 1.8,Tamron A16 and SMC M100F4, all are very sharp lenses, that's why I won't recommend this AF745. There was a reason for his lens coming into being for only one year before it was off line in 1994. Right now I just want to sell it with a low price and considering buy another one.
