I've enjoyed this lens, too. Used, it's an inexpensive way to get some pretty long reach. I agree about both the softness and the purple/green fringing on high contrast boundaries. It's not the nicest long lens out there, and it has no modern bells or whistles, but I've gotten some wonderful shots out of it (yes, some of them handheld!).

Quite a rare lens this. I have used it with some success on my Sony NEX 5N - focus peaking is a huge help. At f5.6 it is better than the RMC version, and at f8 it is pretty good.

I will now be selling mine as I have just picked up the Tokina AT-X SD 150-500mm f5.6 and the Tokina AT-X SD 300mm f2.8. Both of these lenses remind me of just how easy to handhold and use the 400mm is! It feels feather-light in comparison.

Update.... the autofocus of the lens I bought 21 months ago has stopped working. To bad... I was hoping to use it more now that I have a camera with very good IQ at high ISOs.

It can still be used with manual focus though.....

I might need to exchange it as it surely would be too expensive to repair the AF.

I bought my beloved Tokina AT-X Pro AF 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 last 2008 in Taiwan for just NT$6,000 (more or less 200 USD), it was a second hand but still pretty nice and looks new. Ever since I had this lens, I seldom detach it from my camera. This is so far my favorite walk-around/travel lens. With its big 77mm filter size and good looks, it doesn't bother me to carry the extra weight. Output photos are quite sharp at f/4.0 and up. No other lens can beat it on price and quality on its level.

Hi,

I've just got hold of an "unused stock" SL 400mm f/5.6 SD and mounted it on my Panasonic m4/3 bodies.

What a bargain! Ideally I'd love to get hold of the ATX AF version but this one is really impressing me so far. Bit soft at f/5.6 but good at f/8 and CA (both purple and green) is fairly well controlled, apart from in high contrast boundaries, and removable in processing.

The biggest surprise is how hand-holdable it is. I'm "cheating" a little and using burst mode but the keeper rate is pretty good for what's effectively 800mm!

Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts as I'm so pleased with the purchase (but if anyone's got a non-EOS ATX AF going cheap I might be interested....) :-D
