sent on November 19, 2019 Pros: Brightness, solidity of construction, image quality Cons: weight, flare Opinion: I owned this optics for several years, and then I only sold it for system change. Used almost always at 11mm, it always satisfied me. The Af is quite noisy (but little is used to these focal points). I have always found the quality of the image to be excellent. Cona its brightness also allowed me to take some photos of the Milky Way, despite it being mounted only on a half-format Canon sensor. The construction then inspires absolute confidence about reliability and robustness. The main problem is flares that occur as soon as you find a light source (natural or artificial) at the edges of the image. |
sent on September 05, 2019 Pros: sharpness, minimum diaphragm 2.8 from 11 mm to 16 mm, robust Cons: flare, limited focal excursion Opinion: Robust lens, very sharp, does not miss a shot, distorts little even at 11 mm, bright enough. He suffers from the backlight and needs to be careful of the flare. Great for the street and considering the brightness is fine even at night. I use it in combination with an all-rounder who never get under 18 mm. I like to use it in the interior. It has a very good contrast. The focal excursion is small but for the specific use for which this lens is thought is fine. |
sent on August 19, 2019 Pros: Sharpness, F2.8, robustness Cons: Flare, focal excursion a little limited Opinion: The optics used on my D7100 and which I rarely take off, is always a guarantee. For landscape photos on tripods does not miss a beat and just take a look at the photos that run around the net to understand where it can go. I happened to photograph (often I would say) also freehand and always behaves in an egregious way despite the absence of the stabilizer to help. Precise autofocus, sharp already at f2.8, reaches the maximum at f5.6. He loses something at the edges at 11mm. It has a tendency to overexpose slightly, in some cases burning small areas. Just "know" it and let us keep an eye on it to get great results. The real problem with this lens is the flare, always present if you have a light source in front of you. Sometimes retouchable in posts, other times hopeless. The Switch for the MAF I personally find it a bit uncomfortable but I can't say it's a flaw. Chromatic aberration and distortions present at f2.8 to 11mm but easily solvable in PP, nothing excessive. Not quite a feather but it's nothing compared to other goals (see Tamron 24-70...) At the price at which it is located, also used, I think it is the top of the wide-angles on APS-C. |
sent on July 27, 2019 Pros: Sharpness, build robustness Cons: only for aps-c Opinion: For scruples I add an osseration to the opinions displayed in this section regarding the "alleged" flare: after numerous shots in critical condition (light, "burnt" highlights, etc.), I can see that the lens in question does NOT suffer from flare, but light Purple Fringing at the edges, where the highlights are burned. This is due to the wrong exposure and composition of the frame; just close the diaphragm a little and recompose, even underexing of a stop makes the problem disappear. That said, given the speciality of the focal, it must be used by well-known hands to enhance the richness of detail obtainable from this optics, truly remarkable. It can compete well with more ephaly and expensive optics, as well as overcome them from a constructive point of view (cf. Nikkor). As for the weight, I can say that's fine: it weighs the right. If the optics are not stabilized the higher weight becomes important: the heavier it is, the better it can absorb vibrations (but this is a topic that would require a dedicated post). Ultimately great goal, not for beginners. |
sent on March 10, 2019 Pros: Sharpness, yield, little distortion, usable on FX bodies at 16mm. Cons: Flare (sometimes retouchable in post) Opinion: Beautiful lens, heavy, well built. The switch to change the focus from auto to manual is very uncomfortable, because you have to push/pull and it is difficult to succeed at the first shot. I still love the surrender of this goal, the versatility to make street (on DX is the equivalent of a 16.5-24mm "standard"), sharpness and above all the absence of distortion from 13 to 16mm (the 11 and 12mm is still not strong and is absolutely correctable in Post). Another strong point is the maximum aperture of 2.8 that, when combined with the focal length of 16mm, allows you to detach the subject a bit from the background, with a very pleasant bokeh and not at all distracting. Obviously this lens is not meant for portraits or to isolate a subject, but after ten thousand photos wide-angle you get tired of always having all the shot in focus and you start to become a bit ' creative;-) Finally, this lens can also be used on a FX-mode body without vignetting at 16mm, with very little 15mm vignetting, with a 14mm correctable vignetting and with no more retouched black edges from 13mm down. Obviously the quality at the edges leaves a little to be desired on FX, but on the other hand it says "DX" on the barrel to clear letters. |
sent on December 08, 2018 Pros: Used price, brightness, limited optical distortion, sharpness, autofocus Cons: Flareeeee darn flare, short focal, weight. Opinion: It's a wide angle, so one of those lenses that when you do architectural photos you say; Ahhh at last! Welcome angle of Field! I paid 285 on Amazon warehouse deals practically new, used located on 300, at the price of the new: 500 and passes I would never take it. The focal hike is not as reduced as it seems, maybe it took a few more mm down and it would have been the perfect lens for the interior where it behaves very well, is crisp already closing one or two stops, is bright f2.8, beautiful colors, and I have to say that compared to other wide angles (e.g. Sigma 10-20) I noticed minor distortions. Outside the speech changes as long as you are with the sun behind everything well, but if by chance the sunlight will enter the field framed by the flare you relentlessly punish you with ugly effects on the photos, even with the lens hood mounted. In good light condition, but also low brightness, it is fantastic for photos in town, street, and interior and exterior architecture on DX. I found at least in my specimen an excellent autofocus, rarely fails. It is a bit heavy for my d5100 and already feels that it is slightly unbalanced but not too much. I recommend it especially for the sharpness and brightness compared to the price for which L I paid! |
sent on November 26, 2018 Pros: Sharpness, f2.8, materials Cons: On Canon autofocus slightly to calibrate, switch AF-MF, flare Opinion: Since I took it no longer out of the car, very sharp, very contrasted, very deep colors limited focal range but for me more than just. It is not free from defects; It has a lot of chromatic aberration and has a poor resistance to flare so you have to learn to compose the photo so that it doesn't bother you. The Switch AF-MF Sometimes crashes, you must have the foresight to match the gears otherwise it does not enter or enter the middle, also the autofocus on my specimen was Leffermente (Coretto with micro adjustment in the car). It's giving me a lot of satisfaction! |

Opinion: Pretty much my first wide angle lens a 11-16 fantastic if NN was x a back and front focus obvious NN I never understood if it was a defect of the lens or failed. Mounted on a Nikon D3300 was the first wide angle lens and I must say that having also had other lenses nn I have removed a fantastic sharpness and a fixed focal to f 2.8 excellent. |
sent on June 18, 2018 Pros: Sharpness Cons: Focus Opinion: Hi all, more than leave a review I would like to ask you a help to understand something of this goal: about a month ago I bought on the internet the TOKINA 11-16 F 2.8 AT-X PRO DX and after I mounted it on my NIKON D3200 I realized immediately of a thing , the auto focus was not moving the relative ring on the label "AF". I thought it was either the focus scooter that was broken or that this lens was not compatible with my Nikon. Then I noticed that for sale there is another version of this same lens (TOKINA 11-16 f 2.8 AT-X PRO DX II) is looking on the internet I seem to have realized that the difference between the two is right in the auto focus, ie that in the first version only works in Manual while in the second version, the DX II, there is precisely the autofocus...... Do you confirm this thing or does the auto focus have both? |
sent on May 21, 2018 Pros: Fabulous chromatic rendition, excellent sharpness Cons: Flare, flare, flare. Practically useless focal range Opinion: When I bought it I thought to use it as a lens secondaria...in reality I find it as a stable companion in all kinds of photography: wedding, landscape, street, etc. It is a fantastic lens, which makes the colors alive without losing naturalness. The sharpness is very good. Unfortunately, despite the value for money is fabulous, it suffers a lot of flare. This complicates things a bit in post production. Combined with a stabilized machine body such as that of the Sony Alpha R allows greater versatility. Unfortunately, the cheapest adapters on the market every now and then cause the autofocus to be low-responsive. For the kind of photography that I do for me remains an indispensable lens. Sure, if you want to then go on other levels, better go on the Batis 18, which however costs about 1000 euros more. |
sent on May 09, 2018 Pros: Chromatic rendering-sharpness-brightness Cons: Just to be fussy some weight but you get used to it. Opinion: A sensational lens with incredible brightness. Super quality and sharpness. For those who complain about the flare I recommend to mount on a 77 polarized filter and believe me you will not regret having bought this lens. Already after some test shots in the backyard I realized that this is an exceptional optics. Mounted on my d7100 churns masterpieces. I have to be honest by the name of the brand I was very skeptical, I thought it was the usual Chinese/Japanese draft. Instead I was rebelieving, a very pleasant discovery. I can't wait to try it for some night shots. Rated 9.5 |
sent on September 12, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, brightness Cons: back and front focus.cigolio when I turn the focus ring in AF (as if there were some grain of sand I encounter occasionally as I turn the ring). Opinion: I do not know if you have the same problem, but I have some back and front focus problems, now I do not know if it should be replaced or not. Having a Nikon D7200 I could try to fine-tun fine AF ... this problem is on all targets or was I unlucky? does any of you have any suggestions to give me? thank you |
sent on July 25, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, chromatic rendering, brightness Cons: Flare Opinion: A very clear lens, brilliant and very bright colors. Low distortion and exploitable at any opening. The only defect (but in the end not so much) the flare always present, but with a minimum of care is not a problem. At the slightest excursion you can fix it "cropping" a bit because it is so sharp that while magnifying the image you do not notice quality drops. |
sent on July 25, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, brightness Cons: Flare, AF / MF mechanism, chromatic aberration Opinion: Lens fantastic, very sharp with my d3300, especially considering the cost very advantageous compared to other specimens. It's flare, but just small tips to avoid it and a few ideas to take advantage of it. R Standard standard that lets you take filters to But not a click does not solve in PP.rnI'm totally satisfied and I do not suffer from the poor excursion, indeed, I hardly use it above 11mm. |
sent on April 07, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, robustness, brightness Cons: Nobody Opinion: Purchased online for half of the 'shop' price, already at the first contact turned out excellent construction. The first trials in both day and night, on a tripod, have yielded results up to expectations and the beds comments earlier. Sharpness excellent starting as early as f4.5, some chromatic aberration that not still work great in post at RT. The limited zoom range for me is not a problem since it still a wide-angle. For architectural photography by post and manually correct the vertical lines. The weight with the D7100 is perfectly balanced, the footprint is limited. Equipped with plastic lens hood is not always easy to screw and unscrew, you have to get the hang of. It has the advantage of allowing the assembly of screw thread, which is not possible for other wide-angle competitors. Ultimately a great wide-angle lens that does not fear the rivalry of Nikon.rn home |

sent on December 18, 2016 Pros: F / 2.8, sharpness, solid construction, including petal lens hood Cons: AF noisy and sometimes slow but precise, flare Opinion: bought last week, it ended up being an excellent lens right now. is my first wide-angle, possessed only optical ef-s and some old but good raw manuals. Touch seems to have in hand a tank, in fact the building is very solid and precise, without "smearing" me defects. the sharpness is good at f2.8 but in my opinion as the best closing of f4.5 - F5.0 onwards. at f2.8 is a bit 'of chromatic aberration at the edges (perfectly correctable in post) which decreases exponentially stopping down. the autofocus is precise but loud, in live view becomes slow (we talk about a few seconds to grab the subject). convenient switch for manual maf. the lens hood is included in the box, unlike the optical non-L home canon.rnrnottimo goal, I highly recommend it! |

sent on March 17, 2016 Pros: A nice boulder, not easy to tame but that returns you great satisfaction Cons: Flare (or you live there, or shooting point changes!) Opinion: Beautiful! Suffice to say that to buy it! I use it for some months and I trust you that at the beginning I struggled a bit '. presonale Council, used a diaphragm from 5.6 onwards. A 2.8 if you are in front of a beautiful view and there is a good lighting, you will lose the depth. Then close the aperture and shoot, or taken to 2.8 and then the same picture to F8 ... When you take confidence with the Toky, you will see that picture! However, buy it, buy it because it's worth it! It shot up to wear you ...! (So ??you will not easily get tired of Toky ...) |
sent on February 29, 2016 Pros: Robust construction like the more famous home and Nikon image quality. Cons: Flare ... Opinion: I bought this lens after reading many reviews and saw many beautiful works ... Personally I can use it only in the manual as the exposure of my d7000 does not go very well! It gives me an excessive overexposure. Probably these problems are due to my lack of experience with wide angles! Why I not quote in "against" these assessments. In addition, the focal lengths from 11 to 16 for me is not a problem, because if you're willing to buy it you already know what you're buying. For me I use it mainly to the wide-angle focal .... So overall I consider it a great tool. when I figured out how to handle it automatically judgment will improve. |
sent on February 11, 2016 Pros: Crisp, but not as much as I expected; excellent construction; Cons: heavy, but it is bright, there is; Range of focal somewhat infamous, neither too short nor too long; flare .... never mind Opinion: A good goal, without infamy and without praise for me. It will be that maybe I caught a particularly unfortunate model. has never shone for sharpness, I expected very different results as sharpness, and instead. the range of focal lengths, as I said, is a bit like this: neither fish nor fowl, always either too long or short toroppo. The weight is felt. Ah, do not try to turn with the machine attached to the easel and the meeting will serve fixed: unscrews. Alarm simply by screwing the small screws back of the tail light, but I just got blurry photos for a week with this trick! Overall, Promoted but with a 7. |
sent on January 03, 2016 Pros: Bright, crisp, robust, fast AF Cons: Flare Opinion: State that I am an amateur and a professional. Objective I think really satisfying. Good brightness and sharpness. Fast AF and (I think) accurate. The ring for manual focus is a bit 'hard and the "system" to drive a bit' special but it does the hand. The flare is a common problem but the quality 'of optics is excellent. Used on the D3200 gave excellent results for both landscapes in photographs of interiors, pesantino to the camera body.

Great build quality, AF a bit 'noisy, but all in all f / 5,6 it has almost everything already on fire being a wide angle. Great when paired with circular polarizer or neutral density filters (ND1000) .. very good yield, without a doubt one of the first wide-angle for APS-C. Excellent yield on Nikon D5200.

Opinion: After several comparisons, videos, photos and views, I decided to buy this wide-angle lens for aps-c. Sharpness scary, is in the hands of a tank, it is pleasant to its robustness, weight, really well built. I have not tried the canon 10-22, sigma etc. on aps-c but this is fantastic. Already mounted on my 600d seems to go better than the 5D +17-40. The prospects are great, super wide-angle lens. The only real drawback is the flare, you have to be careful or use the technique of finger to prevent it. Highly recommended. |

sent on July 03, 2014 Pros: Strong, sharp, great colors, MAF really excellent, low distortion. Cons: Flare fairly present weight. Opinion: I purchased this' lens after reading various reviews and I must say that I was really pleased. It is not a toy, it is very sturdy and unfortunately also quite heavy. The sharpness is very good and the colors are really beautiful that gives. The focus has really convinced me (at least on nikon D7100), in short, may be the wide-angle lens perfect but in fact it is not! The flare is always lurking, just today I took some panoramic photos but I had to discard half because of the flare, and even though sometimes it might be enjoyable and imaginative, on many other occasions it definitely is not at all. It seems that the hood is not suitable for the type of optical ... mah! For the rest I can say that it is really light and vignetting is very very low, the distortion is not annoying, however, and is easily corrected in PP. Not worth the full 10 for 2 reasons: flare and focal range (11-16) less than the competition (10-24). |
sent on May 23, 2014 Pros: Robust construction, engine MAF extension (DX version II) and fast, sharpness at RT over the entire (short) hike. Cons: Flare, slight purple fringing. Opinion: With its short hike is almost a fixed wide on APS-C and is a lens that I consider good for street (I think that this distortion is even creative). Bright TA allows you to shoot indoors safely (for example, I use it even in fairs or exhibitions). MAF has a faster and more accurate, also the construction is solid (like almost all of the Tokina PRO) and I think that the fact of having sblocare the MAF manually by pulling the ring is a good thing. The yield in the landscape is fantastic, with skies always well contrasted and rich in detail ... even if it's not the lens wide with greater excursion available for APS-C, from the performance point of view I do not think can be beaten in this price range . |

Cons: Protective case not included. No full time manual focus Opinion: Goal of quality, attention to even the smallest detail and built in a very solid. It is worth to indicate that vocation is a perspective "PRO" as indicated by the manufacturer. Excellent sharpness and good uniformity over the whole frame are the best features of this perspective, good even at full aperture. The consistency zoom ring is perfect and intimate, the ring focus is fluid and has the function also select the AF or MF, then no full time manual focus: every time you want to change the focus you need to pull the 'ring and put it back on for the next shot with AF.

It does not seem obvious distortion, while there is a live fringing channels gree / blue easily correctable. The flare is unlike the first version of content, better than my 17-85 and the most obvious is concentrated in two small hot spots easily recoveredrabili with a small clone.

sent on November 10, 2013 Pros: Excellent brightness and true color rendition. a bit of flare on the light. Very limited in size and weight but sturdy and well proporsionato Cons: The bezel to switch from autofocus to manual focus is very hard to move and this often involves moving the machine, especially if on a tripod Opinion: Wonderful ... I recommend ... be careful, however, that the focus is subject to the motor inside the camera body and therefore will not work with SLRs cheaper .... A great wide-angle lens. I come from a Tamron 10-24 who had horrendous distortions and vignettava lot. I sold it and switched to this and it paid off almost the double expense .... I can not use other targets during my travels. Gorgeous views, narrow streets of villages, glimpses of squares ect ... all wonderfully crisp and very proporsionato (but be careful not to tilt the machine too much downward or upward so that you can see the disproportions ...... but this depends on the high field of view forced on small sensor DX). Too bad that the line of PRO Tokina we do not have many types, otherwise another 16-135 or similar I'd have bought gladly honor of the brand ... |

Robust, mechanically stable, bright, with excellent sharpness, is located at the high places among the wide-angle for APS-C format. Non-transferable, is the fixed part of my kit. |

A diaphragm 4 and 5.6 reaches the top of the sharpness, resolving well. It offers a good color transfer. The plunger system to switch from automatic to manual AF is not exactly the best ergonomics, but you just get used to it. I would say that the quality / price ratio can be considered a perfect choice. I am very satisfied. |
sent on December 05, 2012 Pros: Aperture 2.8 - Construction - AF System-MAF Cons: Excursion reduced Opinion: I've had this lens for a year, and I bought it mainly for the diaphragm 2.8. How to Build quality is very good, is solid and not at all plasticky (even if this is done), it was on the beach (the legs of the tripod were in the water) in the desert without suffering at all. The aperture 2.8 allows you to use it without any problems even in low light freehand with a tripod is perfect, it also allows some creative shooting. To get sharper images, especially at the corners (where cartoon) you have to close some stop and everything improves, often use between f8-f11, however it has an excellent sharpness and I'm satisfied. The af is fine, quite fast and accurate, however, shoot in manual mode is easy, just pull the piston ring to the body and turn a few millimeters (good solution). The flare does not digest very well, but if you use the lens hood (with internal anti-reflection), pp is not difficult to remedy. It weighs a bit ', but it is natural avendo diameter filters 77 and being a 2.8. The front lens is extended only a few mm (1-2) making possible the application of filtri.Di against the excursion has reduced (that one puts into account when buy it), which effectively turns it into 2 fixed, one to 11mm and a 16mm, competition and the same house provide more focal. A 11 distortion is very strong, so it is impossible to take a palace straight, to 16 improves a bit ', I personally like it, is a bit' signing grandangoli.rnrnCONCLUSIONE: objectively is a good goal, personally great, is well built, good sharpness, bright, and good (and functional) f; would recommend it to anyone looking for a 2.8 if he is willing to use it almost exclusively with the inevitable distortion at 11mm, otherwise there are 10-22 12-24 competition sigma and canon .

sent on April 28, 2012 Pros: Build quality, aperture 2.8 Cons: Weight, it may be a defect, limited range, only 11-16 against 10-22/10-20 competition. Opinion: I took this wide-angle for the possibility of having the 2.8 aperture. I consider it a good goal. Good lenses, communicates well with my Canon 50D and sharpness is good. It can be a bit 'complicated to pass the switch from autofocus to manual is a plunger. I find it convenient, you have to look forward to the switch but it is different. The weight is not indifferent. It weighs about twice as much as other competitors aps. Petal-type hood included in the package. I find it valid and definitely feel like recommending it to anyone who wants a wide but not too pushed with a good build quality. |
