I am an avid hobby photographer who loves to photograph flowers and insects. I procured a 70-300mm Nikon G lens in order to capture butterflies and though it is a cheap lens without VR (or IS in Canon terminology), the pictures come out pretty sharp as long as you are using the right balance between ISO, shutter speed and aperture.

The need for a Macro lens arose because of the frustration I had shooting smaller insects as the 70-300 could magnify only so much. There is always a time when y...

Bought this for my D7000. Sharp, excellent colours and contrast. Can be used as a portrait lens also. f2.8 not achievable in full macro mode/close focussing (gives adequate DOF and bokeh at f3.6 and less). f2.8 can be got setting the focus switch to limit and when focusing at a distance in full macro. Lock aperture ring at f32 (use locking switch) before mounting. Align green mark beside aperture ring with mark on your lens mount when mounting. For D7000 aperture may be set using aperture rin...

I bought this lens about a month ago from Flipkart. I rate this lens as a complete lens for its price, total value for money. Trust me, you won't ever repent it after buying. I use it on a Nikon D90 body and results are amazing.

I am a biologist, I work on moths, butterflies, amphibians and reptiles. I take all sorts of shots like, outdoor, staged shots (studio) and even record behaviour of the animals in wild. Here, comes its superb focus and crisp sharpness at play.

I seriously recommend...

I was looking for Nikon 105mm then the reviews about Tokina made to to go for this . I have to tell am very happy with the performance for the lens though my tripod n ring flash is not that good.

Pros: Pretty sturdy , well built, good contrast, very sharp. (dont woory about the VR or auto zoom which is of no use in macro, thats just a marketing factor ).

Cons: Auto to manual switch makes a click which might alert the subject.

And Flipkart delivered it in a day as said , great work Flipkart...

Excellent Lens. Got it in a good deal for Rs. 25700/-. Packing was perfect. Genuine & fresh product with manual and 2 year warranty card. Tokina 100mm is a good choice for those interested in macro photography. Also best lens for portraits too....

Excellent image quality. Works great on my Nikon D7000. Good for Macro and portraiture.
Fast delivery from Flipkart.

This is a very good looking solid lens. Extremely sharp and is at par with its Nikorr counterpart (The 105mm). It is a heavy lens and provides 1:1 magnification. However it doesn't have a AF motor. People with D90,D7000 and above wouldn't face this issue. But MF is often preferred for macro works..So if you're okay with MF, this is an optical treat!

I bought this Tokina 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens after comparing with the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens. Image quality is really good but its automode doesn't work with my Nikon D5100. So, am using in manual mode. But for macro and close-up photography, manual mode is recommended. Also, better to use a tripod.
I bought it from Flipkart (WS Retail) on an offer and got it for Rs 22320/-

Very nice product results are awasome.

This lens is tank build quality and great optics.
Full frame body holders must buy this.
Great for Portraits and macro.
