This is a fine addition for someone who is generally happy with the zoom range of the R-1 and wants a lens to occasionally extend its reach.
Here’s the down side. The lens weighs over two pounds and is slow to mount and dismount. It took me just under two minutes to go from the bag to assembled and ready to shoot. A tripod or some other sort of stabilization is a must, because you now have a huge five-pound camera once this lens is mounted.
Even with all of the bad stuff, the lens quality is nothing short of outstanding and the fit and quality of assembly are also quite good. It’s not going to turn your R-1 into a great wildlife camera, but it is capable of producing prints that are equal to the camera’s native performance. That can’t be said for any of the Chinese accessory lenses for the R-1 that are being sold on the web as a cheaper alternative. If you can afford nearly $400 for the lens and the mount and have found yourself wishing to be able to capture a distant landscape every now and then, this lens is the ticket.

Tokina 3X Tele Lens for CANON POWERSHOT S3 IS - Good or Bad?
I want a tele lens for my Canon Powershot S2 IS. On Ebay, I found a Lens Tele Tokina 3X lens for $60 plus the adapter tube. Is Tokina a good lens maker? Anyone use them before? I am not taking professional pictures, just photos of the football game for the yearbook and school newspaper. Will the quality be lesser with a Tokina lens?
