Hello Ian; I have owned a Tokina 35-200 ATX zoom for twenty years. It is a superb lens, although like most zooms, best used in good light. The ATX was Tokina's professional lens designation. It has SD glass, very good, very sharp. Tokina are known for their rugged lens construction and my use, often in the mountains, has born this out. Highly recommended but check out the condition.Frank, Kamloops, BC
