Tokina ATX 828 80-200 f2.8 SD
Dear All, I have an opportunity to buy this manual focus lens for $300 Australian. The lens has never been used in prime condition and original box. Has any one on the list had any experience with this lens, and is it a good buy. The other alternative is to buy the sigma but at over $1500 Australian its expensive. Regards Charles Wilson Sydney Australia

I guess $300 AUD (about $225 USD) is a decent enough price for it, if it's in such good shape, although I have seen apparently good specimens go for a bit less. You might want to make sure it's a Ka-mount lens, though - this model is available both in A and in pre-A K-mount trim. Fred

Everywhere I look they tell me they need to order one in from the US. Kind regards Kevin -- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
