The great thing about this lens is it's around a quarter to a third of the cost of an equivalent Nikon or Canon lens and it does an awesome job.
Sadly Tokina don't make these any more, but have seen a number on places like ebay which is where I bought mine.
I use this lens for sports and action photography and also birds, animals and it's a great lens to take portraits with awesome bokeh around 30 yards (25 metres) away.
I sometimes use a 1.4 teleconverter which turns it in to a 420mm at f4 which is fantastic.
Highly recommend to someone who can't afford the Nikon or Canon equivalent which can be thousands of $$$ more.
