It will not be as effective as the original Tokina hood but will be good enough in most cases and your life will be much easier when trying to precisely align the polarizing filter. If you find this operation too cumbersome and use polarizers frequently, just buy a generic 55mm lens hood and screw it on top of the filter. The lens hood is 5cm deep, but you can still align a polarizing filter carefully using your index finger. The frontal lens is well recessed (3cm) which makes the deep hood rather optional, but I prefer to use a lens hood whenever possible. Tokina 100 macro review – In use:Īt 95 mm long, the Tokina 100 macro is not a big lens for its focal length, but due to the 490g it has enough heft to inspire confidence even for demanding assignments.ĭue to the 2.8 aperture, the image in the viewfinder is bright, which is very useful when shooting macro images – remember that at the 1:1 reproduction ratio the effective aperture is 2 stops darker or when shooting in dark environments. This rubber ring is very handy for mounting the lens on the camera, it can even be mounted and operated ( except for the Focus Clutch ) with the hood in reversed position. The Tokina 100 macro has a fixed rubber ring just above the aperture ring, about where the zoom ring is on zoom lenses.
The filter thread does not rotate during focusing, facilitating the use of polarizing filters and macro ring flashes. The lens’ multi-coatings is the new type, intended to minimize the reflections from the CD and CMOS sensors in the current DSLRs. The lens extends about 45mm when focused to the minimum distance – roll the mouse over the image above to see how it looks fully extended.

The real advantage on Nikon cameras is that the camera does not need to be switched back to manual focus. It also features the Tokina One Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism for easy switching between manual and Auto focus. The Tokina 100 macro has a convenient focus limiter that can lock the focus in 1.28 to infinity range, helping it focus faster. There is also a simplified depth of field scale. The distance scale indicates meters, feet and the reproduction ratio. The new look is slightly different form the old AT-X lenses and at the moment only the Tokina 100 macro and the Tokina 12-24 share it.
#NIKON MACRO LENS BH PRO#
The Tokina 100 macro fully deserves the AT-X PRO designation, being very well built, with a crinkle black finish which resembles some professional Nikon lenses. I tested the Tokina 100/2.8 macro in Nikon mount, so all specific details in this review are about the Nikon version (aperture ring, no internal AF motor, etc.).
#NIKON MACRO LENS BH FULL#
On the DX cameras (Nikon and Fuji DSLRs), it will act as an 150mm lens on a full frame camera, making it even better for some tasks. The Tokina 100 macro is a lens designed for both film and digital cameras, so it can be used even on full frame digital cameras. It comes with a 55mm lens cap, a rear cap and a bayonet lens hood which can be mounted in the reversed position for transport. Weight: 490g Tokina 100/2.8 macro is available in Nikon and Canon mounts. The long name of this lens is: Tokina 100 mm F 2.8 AT-X PRO D
