This was old thread I started and eventually changed title:

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1424563/0#13521401

Well, I ended up with BOTH Tokina zooms (Nikon mount obviously) as listed above for $300 total. It's hard to believe but that was the total damage. The 28-70 2.6-2.8 has focus gear issue, so the seller refunded me AND told me to not bother with shipping back. I am going to get it fixed...which will be easy if I can locate one tiny retaining pin. The 24-70 has stiff zoom from 50-70mm, but I've worked it out. Looks to me like original buyer spilled sticky substance (cola?) that fortunately didn't hurt much...meaning electronically its fine. Optics dodged the cola, as well. Yee haw!!

I will develop mini-review of 24-70 2.8 as I add to this posting. I had this and the 24-70 2.8G at same time and did a few comparisons but nothing in depth.

Here are photos of my $300 zooms, both boxed and the 2.6-2.8 also includes the very rare MN-773 (metal hood).

FYI - The Tokina 24-70 is sharp as hell. Wait till I post those pics!

Here are some examples of using this lens wide open.
