When the Tokina 100mm f2. 8 Macro FiRIN was announced, I was pretty overjoyed at the fact that the company was working to create a focal length that is much different than current options on the market.
While Sony has its own f2. 8 STF lens, I'm pretty sure that most journalists and photographers can take it or leave it. But with the Tokina 100mm f2. 8 Macro FiRIN, the company is providing another focal length at a more affordable price point. Tokina's glass has always been solid--in fact their parent company, Hoya, makes the optics for many lenses that you're probably using. But they've always just been a tad quirky. Sometimes I've encountered tactile issues while in the case of the Tokina 100mm f2. 8 Macro FiRIN I found my ears consistently meeting the unpleasing sound of a loud motor--a thing that I genuinely believed to be buried in the past. If you tend to be a bit more tone-deaf or have worked on construction sites, you'll probably be able to get over it. . thephoblographer.com
