Hej Ingemar,
(over to English) Tokina lenses are generally of good to excellent quality
and can be trusted. Tamron and Vivitar vary more. And for chrissake
stear clear of any old Tamron Adaptall lenses -- I once came within a
millimeter of dropping a 200 mm lens from one of their infernal adapters!
