With the right focal length range for distance (think wildlife and sports), this lens is unusual for being about the only 80-400mm zoom that isn't image-stabilized.That makes it much less expensive. If you're on a limited budget and want a sharp, well-built, tele zoom, give this lens a look, especially if you're a big filter fan. With all-metal construction and a heavy, rugged feel, the Tokina AT-X 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 AF D has a nonremovable tripod collar and a zoom lock that holds it at its most compact size for transport.
