Since no one else is responding, I will give my two cents worth. I had one
of these for Olympus that I had to have repaired by Tokina twice within six
months. It would cloud internally from element "oxidation". This is an
extremely common problem with many Tokina lenses here. I sold it for $160 at
the local shop in superb shape (at least until it oxidizes again). I tried
to get $180 as I have seen them advertised for that. It is supposed to be a
very decent lens for the focal length.
