Description — Tokina AF 300mm f/2.8 SD
The Tokina AF 300mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro SD is a prime telephoto lens designed for full-frame and APS-C DSLR cameras. With a fixed 300mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it delivers a fast, dedicated telephoto option for photographers who regularly shoot at this focal length. The lens is offered in Canon EF and Nikon F mounts, covering the two most widely used DSLR systems.
Focus options include both autofocus and manual focus, giving users control over their preferred focusing method. Weighing 2,400g, this is a heavy lens that reflects the physical demands of its optical design, and the 112mm filter thread means front-mounted filters will need to be sourced in a large diameter. Image stabilization is not included, so support equipment or in-body stabilization should be considered for handheld use.
