Review Summary

This is a high quality lens that works great with my Nikon D750. I'm new to Macro, reading a lot and trying to learn all about it. My first shots are already amazing, buttery in the background, sharp on the subject. I recommend it without any hesitation. Adorama did a great job getting it to me quickly and safely. The 750 "likes" it a lot.

Fantastic lens. I have it on Nikon and on Panasonic GH 5 with Metabones Speed Booster XL. Both work flawlessly. Close-up shots look very sharp. F2.8 works great in low light. Speed Booster helps getting a bit wider shot with close-ups due to the form factor. Autofocus on Nikon works fast and picture looks great too.

This is a great lens, especially for the price. You don't need VR for macro/micro work or portrait work, both of which are areas where this lens shines. Functionally, all the controls are intuitive, smooth and precise. Its robustly built and based on years of excellent pro quality lenses from Tokina. My only complaints are 1. to retract the moving front portion of the lens after auto-focusing, you have to unlock the focus clutch and retract it manually, and 2. you lose a stop (goes to 4.2) when focusing as close as possible. Ive had the Nikon 105 AF-S VR and don't recall this being the case, but I find image quality to be the same with this lens at 1/3 of the price. As an aside, I bought this lens after looking at the new version with the Firin look, and found them to be identical other than the price. Just one more reason to buy this lens. I bought from Adorama and I had mine in 3 days with normal (free) shipping!

I only used the lens once for Macro shots, just to see how well it worked. I will let the pics I post speak for the Quality of the shots. Have not used the lens for anything else other than Macro yet. I hear that the lens is good for portrait work as well. I used the lens on my Nikon D750, it was a fun lens to work with. Can't really find a negative thing to say about it, for now. The lens seems to be well made for the price. I am keeping the lens. Maybe Adorama will allow another review from me in the future, when I have used it more. So far so good.

Real nice lens. Easy ylto focus my manually or automatically, sharp images, and the price is right. There are some detailed reviews on YouTube which convinced me to go with it over the much more expensive Nikon 105mm macro and I have not been disappointed.

Great lens. Like others have said, the autofocus is slow, however for its intended use it’s just fine. It’s not like you’re shooting wildlife or sports with a 100mm macro lens. Very sharp, great color saturation. This lens should be twice the price. I might buy another.

This Tokina lens is tack sharp and very fast. I have made many memorable macro shots with it, as well as some of the most beautiful portraits I have ever taken. This lens is a definite winner.

It is sharp and easy to use. Macro is a dream at 1-1 .I did my homework . It is the best 100 f 2.8 macro. A great lens for the price.

Before deciding to buy this macro lens, I have, of course, as any sane buyer would, hit the interwebs and made a decent amount of research. Somehow, I got the general sense that this is worth it, and yes, indeed, it proved to be so. Go buy this lens.

I couldn't be more pleased with Tokina's 100mm f2.8 macro lens. I've never been a fan of third-party lenses, but this lens changed my mind. It's well built for the price, and tack sharp. If you don't want to break the bank for a macro lens, give this one a try!

The price is exceptional for a lens which can be used as a macro and portrait lens which provides great bokeh. It is very sharp with low distortion and vignetting... However, there is no built-in image stabilization which I wish it had. Even though it's made of plastic; it feels solid. Once you master using it; you won't be disappointed...

It has no Vibration Reduction , I'm fine with that. I am amazed with this lens.

This Tokina 100mm f/2.8D PRO Macro for Nikon is SO sharp people are blown away when I show them images then allow them to 'pixel peep' by zooming all the way in. A very well constructed lens with a 'typical' D Series lens feel due to metal construction. Some people seem not to like the MF/AF clutch switch which I simply can't understand. It's a great arrangement and very fast to switch between AF and MF. IMO You really owe it to yourself to give this lens out for a Macro shooting session to get the full appreciation of what this lens is capable of. Enjoy and Happy Shooting!

Shipping was a breeze, product arrived when said it would. Delivers a great shot for closeness and clarity.

Actually 4-1/2 stars. Nice lens. Build is solid. Sharpness and bokah looks very good. Focus is a little bit slower than Nikon lenses, but not enough to be a problem. 100 mm with a crop sensor camera is a little on the long side for portraits, but I need more experience with the lens to make a definitive assessment on this.

I use this lens mainly for photo-restoration and macro work; occasionally for portraits. It's a quality lens at a much lower price that comparable lenses made by the Big Boys. It has no internal focussing motor so if you need AF you'll need to use it with a camera with an internal motor

I think it is a pretty good lens for the money. I use it on my D850 and it achieves passable results.

Amazing lens. Worth way more than you pay for it. The barrel mounted clutch to switch to manual focus is very handy when in macro use.

Another great lens from Tokina. I needed a macro lens for shooting jewelry. This lens helped me get a job. Everything works as it should. Nice & sharp. Using on my Nikon D7000 that has a focus motor in the body; focuses fast especially if you use the limiter.

I was suprising shocked at the pictures I got with this lens for the price. Macro shots are amazing. My only lament is the lack of stabilization but at this price that is ok. The lens is just as sharp as the othe rname brands. It quickly became one of my favorite lens.

Tokina AT-X 100 PRO D lens for digital and film SLR cameras
The AT-X M100 PRO D is a new macro lens capable of life-sized (1:1) reproduction at 11.8 in. (30 cm). The lens' multi-coating have been re-engineered to match the highly reflective silicon based CCD and CMOS sensors in today's digital SLR cameras, while the optics still give full coverage and excellent sharpness on 35mm film.
The AT-X M100 PRO D also has a very convenient focus limiter switch that can lock the focus out of the closes focus making it focus faster when used as a moderate telephoto or portrait lens.
Other features of the AT-X M100 PRO D are:
Tokina One Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism for fast easy switching between manual and Auto focus.
55mm non-rotating filter thread for use with macro ring flashes and special effects filters.
Note: - The lens does not have its own motor, so it has to make use of the in-camera motor to autofocus. For this reason, it will not autofocus when used with a camera in the D3000 series or the D5000 series. It will autofocus with a camera that has a built-in motor, such as a D90, D7000-7200, D300, or any Nikon full-frame camera.
