[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 702052, member: 10742"] A couple of thoughts... That's a brand new lens and there's nothing to really compare it to... They tried comparing it to the F mount versions, and reached their conclusion but if you read their earlier article, they reached the same conclusions that DXOMark reached... In that class of lens, the 10 year old version of the Tokina showed better performance than the Nikons, Sigmas, and Tamrons... Since Nikon has released several versions of the 24-70 2.8 since the Tokina released theirs many years ago, I would have expected Nikon to "fix or adjust" the areas they get dinged in, in various technical reviews... Since they haven't, I'll be interested to see DXOMark's technical review of that lens... but I don't hold out much hope that their conclusion is going to be "The best on the market"... JMO, of course...:) [/QUOTE]
