Today I am testing out this vintage RMC Tokina 28-85mm f4 zoom lens that I picked up for $20 on eBay. Is this lens amazing or is it complete trash?

This Tokina 28-85mm f/4 is actually the Hoya HMC 28-85mmf/4 built & came to market in 1980. Tokina merged with Hoya and produced the AT-X series, SD series. So Tokina launched this zoom with same Hoya optics under Tokina RMC till all Hoya optics passed under the new brand Tokina RMC.

this lens didn't cost $20 in 1977!! it's worth it's weight in GOLD to me, I have about 5- two dirty 'parts' ones, and three nice clean... These have amazing feeling and impressive cinematic flares... I also have the 35-105mm and the 45-150mm, they are all Tokina made and superb-

They are such good lenses for the price! I didn’t know Tokina made a 45-150!! I have been looking at getting the soligor 45-150 so will have to check that out

I have this lens, 2x actually. :P the first one for canon fd, and then I liked it so much that I bought a second one for om mount, simply because I now want all of my vintage lenses for ef (because I'm lazy. :P) I paid 35 bucks for each one. but anyways, The 2 vintage zoom lenses I use the most (for filming skateboarding) are the tokina 35-105 3.5 and the canon fd 35-105 3.5, same specs, but completely different look. the canon one has probably my favorite lens flare of all time. It's orange (as all lens flare should be) and because it has so many lens elements you get this crazy look stopped down almost like in an 80s cartoon. It's awesome. :)

I'm not sure if the rotating front is always a problem since the lens is par focal. It will of course be unusable when refocusing while filming (or photographing). Since the price tag, it's actually a negligible con.

Very true, I mostly meant in case you wanted to put a mattebox or a polarizer filter on the front it would be affected when focusing

Nice video ! please try the super takumar 55mm 1.8 ( specially at f16 if you want sharpness, or nice “ bloqué “ at f1.8 ) and warmer characteristics too 👍

@calebbrunkow Жыл бұрын

Will do! I have one of those lenses but have never really used it much since I have the 50 1.4 as well. I’ll have to test it out more

@@calebbrunkow great! If I’m not wrong, that super takumar is the most sharper of the 50’ ish line. !

Aperture and focal ratio are not the same thing. Aperture is the opening size, focal ratio (f number) is just the ratio of the focal length and aperture. So to have a fixed "focal ratio" zoom (not fixed aperture), as the focal length increases, the aperture would have to increase to keep the same focal ratio. You can see this happening as you zoom, and actually touch on that in the video. So, technically, most zooms are fixed aperture (thats why the f number changes as you zoom), but some expensive zooms are fixed focal ratio.

That’s super insightful! I really appreciate that
