Don't use TOKINA lenes with 10D

[MilesTHD]

After going through 3 of them (their good stuff), I've learned that the AF just doesn't cut it. Not blurry, but not sharp. Just kinda..... blah

Happy shooting, 10D cult memebers

IF you mean the 20-35-ATX Pro f2.8 I can see your point, but the £150 19-35 works just fine as you can see

The 28-80 2.8 in AF mode could not get a crispy picture at all. Way too soft. You're choice of lenses was a good call ... better than mine for sure

I've yet to find an ATX-Pro Tokina that's worth bothering with, i've had a 20-35 (Don't bother, a Cosina kills it) and tried the 28-80 also and apart from mild front focussing, the 28-135IS killed it let alone another 3rd party F2.8 lens like the Sigma 28-70EX DF (which IS a great lens for the money) .. the weird thing is that the only NON-ATX lens I've tried which was Pants was the 35-300 but that's to be expected, it's very old, Cheap and almost a 10X zoom

Adam,

Do you need to get a DG version Sigma lens to work with the 10D or not?

How does the 28-70EX compare to Sigmas 24-70? can you still buy the 28-70EX?

Thx.
David

Rachael had the Sigma 28-70 on her D60 but succumbed to the range and stabilization of the 28-135IS so sold it before either of us got a 10D so no I haven't bt I can't see any reason why ANY "DF" fitted lens shouldn't work on a 10D, as the DF system was introduced after 2000 where Sigma claim they all work from

As for the 28 vs 24 - Both are still current lenses, at the same price too. I guess that this is because the 28-70 is Sharper (which I found it to be) wide open - otherwise there would be no point whatsoever of them keeping both in the lineup at the same price..
