As promised in the E-bay finds topic, some shots with the dreaded Tokina 28-210 (on Nikon D3).
This lens really is bad, and from what i've read it's not just my copy...
At full aperture the lens just isn't sharp, and i don't mean soft, no... just not sharp. There's some serious vignetting and the minimum focussing distance is 1.9 meter so exept for landscapes the short end (28mm) is rather useless. AF is slow and often hunts not suitable for action shots and the list goes on...
So i sold it to someone who wanted a cheap walk around lens with all the limitations that come with it.
previous shot at 100%:
