First impressions, Tokina SZX 400mm F8.

Just received this lens yesterday and thought I would share my thoughts. First, it is tiny. I knew it was small from description, but wow. Build quality seems very good. I took a few shots with it outside today and I am pretty pleased with the results. It's not great, but good. I purchased to use to experiment with some astrophotography eventually when I get a tracker. For the $250 price I am pretty happy with it for now. Image quality is ok, but bokeh is gross. I am not too worried about that considering my intended use. When I get a tracker and figure out how to get some astro shots I will report back on that. A couple of samples from today.
