Tokina AT-X M100 PRO AF D 100 mm f/2.8

11. Summary

Pros:

exquisite quality of image
good correction of chromatic aberration
zero distortion
small coma
slight vignetting
good work against bright light
high quality of build and casing

Cons:

average work of autofocus and accuracy

Conclusion may be very short. So praised by us Tamron 2.8/90 achieved a sound competitor. Both lenses give great quality of image and we will be satisfied with both of them. Tokina has a slight advantage when it comes to the quality of image with maximum aperture and when working against bright light. Tamron, on the other hand, is characteristic of better autofocus work. The choice is very difficult, especially that the price of both instruments is similar.
