After reading your review, I’ve been watching for Tele-Tokina lenses. As you say, they seem to be very rare; I had to wait a very long time before I found one (a Tele-Tokina 135/2.8). I’ve been supremely impressed with it; it even outperforms my Super Takumar 135/3.5. The 15 aperture blades make for some great bokeh. Your website seems to be the only readily-available online information on these lenses, so thank you for sharing your experience. I would never have found this little gem without your review.

[...] before the snowstorm we have here, I took a day with Tele-Tokina 105mm/2.8 (old, rare, dented lens I got for free when I bought a package). I hiked up near my home, to the [...]

It’s a very nice lens, I should try and use it more.

I have a Mamiya Sekor SX 105mm/2.8 lens (M42 mount, auto diaphragm) which may have the same optical design. More on this lens:

Sears also offered a 105mm/2.8 lens in M42 mount.

This is a T/T2 mount lens. T/T2 is a threaded “universal” mount, while Adaptall/Adaptall2 is a bayonet “universal” mount only used by Tamron.
Tokina never produced any Adaptall lens.

I have “exactly” this lens, but in the front reads Hanimar Tele-lens. I agree, this lens is very sharp, more sharp than my Super-Takumar 105/2.8, Fujinon-T 105/2.8 and in the same league of the Tamron 90/2.5. The bokeh is good too. I buy this lens in Barcelona, with a bunch of M42 tele lens, for next to nothing.
