Awesome lens. I use it with my AF100 all the time. Great midrange telephoto.

The story is that when some Nikon lens engineers broke off to start their own company, Tokina, they used the Angenieux 28-70mm cinema lens as the formula for this lens.

I have a 28-70 f/2.8 Canon FD lens that this would replace nicely. I'm definitely on the fence over this. - Tim

Free bump. The lens is great I have one. It's parfocal as well, which is huge for critical focus.

But I can still see this ad, so I want it to still be available Just out of curiosity in case I see this lens for sale elsewhere, how does it work with the FS-100? Some kind of Nikon to Sony E mount adaptor?

 

[Jon Furtado]

Yeah, you'd have to use a mount adaptor. I use a Nikon to Micro 4/3. It's an awesome midrange zoom to use with a mattebox! Thats why I bought it.

With the F3, FS100 and AF100 (anything without a Nikon mount) you would use a lens adapter, then it works great. You'd want the Nikon to E mount, but be sure to get a good one. Its a great lens and a lot of bang for the buck. Really close to the Nikon 28-70, which costs $1,500-$2,000.

I think you mean the Nikon 24-70. The old nikon 28-70 can be had for under a $1000.
