Pre-Owned - RMC Tokina 17mm f/3.5 C/FD for Canon
The RMC Tokina 17mm f/3.5 C/FD is a well-regarded, all-metal, ultra-wide-angle manual focus prime lens designed for Canon FD mount cameras. It is known for its solid build, compact size, and good optical performance when stopped down, making it a popular choice for both film photography and adaptation to modern mirrorless digital cameras.
Build Quality: Reviewers consistently praise the "exceptional" all-metal build quality, noting it feels very solid and durable, unlike many modern plastic lenses. The focus and aperture rings are described as smooth and dampened with full-stop click-stops on the aperture ring.
Image Quality: The lens is considered a very high-quality lens for its price range. It is reportedly soft wide open at f/3.5, but image quality improves significantly when stopped down to f/5.6 or f/8, with peak performance at f/8-f/11. It offers "clean, neutral color rendition" and handles chromatic aberration well.
