(From Tokina lens literature) Kenko Tokina Co. Ltd, is pleased to announce the new Tokina AT-X 70-200mm F/4 PRO FX VCM-S lens featuring a new Vibration Correction Module and ring-shaped ultrasonic style auto-focus motor. This lens is designed for digital cameras with full sized sensors as well as APS-C (DX) sensors.

The Tokina AT-X 70-200mm lens is the first lens with Tokina's new proprietary VCM (Vibration Correction Module). This technology allows for up to 3 stops of vibration correction* to reduce the affect of camera shake in situations were a tripod or monopod cannot be used.

Additionally the new 70-200 Lens features a complete ring-shaped ultrasonic motor for faster and quieter auto-focus. This new motor allows for the minute adjustments between AF and manual focus modes dramatically increasing operability. The "S" denotes the new ultrasonic motor.

The optical design of this lens has 3 SD (FK01) Super-low Dispersion glass elements to correct for chromatic aberration and maintain heightened optical quality throughout the zoom range.

Tokina's announcement of the AT-X 70-200 lens expands the lens lineup to include a compact high-performance telephoto zoom lens that has great portability in a professional caliber telephoto lens.

Tokina 70-200mm f/4 AT-X AF PRO FX VCM-S SD User Reviews

10.0/10 average of 1 review(s) Build Quality 10.0/10 Image Quality 10.0/10
  • 10 out of 10 points and recommended by nebelungphoto (17 reviews)
    Sharp, built like a tank, ultrasonic motor, is/vr/vc
    Heavy, tripod collar optional (good luck finding it for sale), Nikon only, no autofocus with teleconverters (dslr bodies) and Nikon FTX (Z bodies) (manual focus only)

    This lens is great with the ultrasonic motor and is/vr/vc built in. The is/vr/vc is not quite as effective as some of the other lenses in this range (3 stops). The price/value proposition would have me buying this again.
