Tokina RMC 135mm f2.8 - lens review
Let's be honest: there are a few reasons why I bought this lens and the most important one is the built-in sun hood. Jokes aside it was on sale for 20 euros, it's a small, compact, rugged 135mm f2.8 so I just said “heck, I'll get it” and I must say that I'm not disappointed. This really is a rugged, compact, easy to carry telephoto lens and that 2.8 aperture is not that easily found is this focal length on older vintage lenses, as many of them are f3.5 or even f4. Tokina RMC 135mm f2.8 Talking about size, it is 82mm long when focused to infinity, 96mm when fully extended, 114mm when the sun hood is out, with a 52mm front thread and it weights 400 grams. The body is made of metal, with a rubberized focus grip, the iris has 6 rounded blades, the aperture is clicked and goes from f2.8 to f16, past which there’s a red EE markers, for the auto exposure feature that works on compatible analog cameras. It comes in different mount, mine has a Konica AR mount...
