Is it just me, or does this lens look pretty soft at T2.9? Might be the quality of the 300% blowup I'm looking at, but it seems pretty mushy wide open.
like most lenses in this price range they all tend to be a little softer at t2.9 and sharpen up as you stop down. this is common. Yes both the Tokina and the DZO lenses are softer at t2.9 but the DZO is certainly not performing as well as the Tokina.
Thanks a lot for this footage ! (especially given how little there is about this zoom for now online) However, is it possible that your copy of the lens is decentered ? The focal plane doesn't seem parallel to the sensor at all, especially during the 20 first seconds

if you mean the first 20 seconds as in the intro.. that shot is cropped in for the text.
