It is an excellent lens. A German photography journal (Fotomagazin) compared 2.8/300 lenses some 8 or 10 years ago. The Tokina was second to the Leica 2.8/280 and clearly exceeded the primes from Nikon, Pentax, Canon and Tamron (I'm not sure if Minolta was in the comparison). Unfortunately the new Autofocus Tokina 2.8/300 seems to be less good (although still excellent).
