This is the lens you have always dreamed of owning! This lens is the "TOP OF THE LINE" in Tokina's AT-X AF Series of professional lenses. The AT-X 300AF PRO lens features the exclusive “Focus Clutch Mechanism” a signature of Tokina Premium lenses. The AT-X 300AFII is constructed using all aluminum lens barrels and a chrome-plated, brass mount plate. The first lens group is made from two elements of high quality SD (super low dispersion) glass that minimizes the secondary spectrum caused by chromatic aberration. These two large diameter SD glass elements correct colour aberration normally associated with telephoto lenses, resulting in high contrast, sharp images. Any photo opportunity is within reach with it's fast f2.8 maximum aperture and high focus speed, due to the IRF (internal rear focus) system. This lens uses FK01 and FK02 optical materials which gives them SD (APO) qualities. The optics have a built-in flare cutter mechanism which removes unnecessary light (flare) and gives clean sharp images. Adding the dedicated bayonet lens hood, designed for maximun coverage, further eliminates flare. We are including this lens hood in this auction at no additional cost to you. Additional use of SD(APO) glass gives this lens the leading edge in performance and qualifies it as one of the AT-X range of lenses. The AT-X 300AF PRO satisfies the needs of the professional with its classic telephoto characteristics and easy use of multiple filters with rear inserted filter holder. At f/2.8, you will not find a faster telephoto lens for a lower price! Foto Magazine gave this lens a rating of "SUPER FIVE STARS!"
