Hi,

Tris asked:

Has anyone around here worked with the Tokina 17mm f3.5?
If so, how does it perform and what sort of price would you assign it
for a "working" piece?

A nice contrasty lens. Handles flare very well. Distorts a lot (I have a picture taken with this lens of the Tower of Pisa, tilted in the wrong direction!).
Some pictures I have taken with this lens (I have posted these before):

I have seen this lens many times for prices far below $100.
I brought mine brand new more than a decade ago for about $150.

Bye,
