Let's try it one more time? RMC Tokina 500mm 1:8 (part 2)

Having such a small, easy to carry, lens for this focal length is such a pleasure, that I had to try this lens again to see if the results on a full frame camera are somewhat better or not. So here are some additional samples on top of the original review.

I must say I even liked it less. Although the extreme focal length can be very handy to bring the details, and fairly good sharpness can be achieved, the "circle" bokeh is just to distracting. If you can avoid bright spots in the background, you might be OK, but otherwise... I rather use a cheapo real 500mm lens like the Samyang 500mm.

So, after this second trial, I decided to part with this lens.
