When you deal with old lenses, you often get lenses and cameras you know nothing of, as a extra treat when you buying for something else. To be honest, often they are crap - but sometime you get real treasures. Lets find out which category this Tele-Tokina belongs to…

The purchase
I bought this lens in a package with Pentax Spotmatic camera, Asahi S-M-C 55mm/1.8 lens, Soligor 35mm/3.5 (old preset), flash, bag, pocket tripod and some other stuff - it all went for about £40. The things I was aiming for was the Pantax camera and lens. The package arrived, and believe me, it was felt like christmas to unpack this stuff ;)

About a week ago I bought a Pentax Spotmatic with three lenses and lots of good accessorie. The Pentax S-M-C Takumar 55mm/1.8 that came along I new was gonna be good. But there were some surprises too, specially a Tele-Tokina 105mm/2.8, a preset adaptall lens. It really creates sharp, nice images. The only thing I’m unsure about is the colour saturation (colour pictures will be published later on).

Here is a B&W shot of my daughter learning to eat.
