Well-built, metal lens with macro feature
a little bit heavy due to quality build

I was given this lens by a friend. I already owned the Canon FDn 35-70 f3.5-4.5 which I really like due to its portability and overall image quality. Some complain that it is cheaply built. If you want a tank that has a continuous f4 than the Tokina fits the bill. It is very well built, has a 55mm ring and features an excellent macro focus. The image quality is very good, at least equal to that of the Canon mentioned above. Very inexpensive to buy used even today (2020), compared to the Canon equivalent. Overall a nice all-around "normal" zoom lens. Some slight vignetting wide open around the edges.
