Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 Pro FX

The Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 Pro FX is a nice zoom lens with a fast and constant aperture at F2.8. This Tokina lens is designed for full frame DSLR camera from Canon and Nikon, like the Nikon D700 and Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The lens comes with a new silent motor and a new faster autofocus sensor. Let us hear what Photography Blog has to say about this professional lens from Tokina.

Photography Blog ends up giving the Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 Pro FX a “Recommended” rating with an overall score of 4 out of 5 possible stars. The lens scores highest on design and image quality, and a little lower on features, ease of use and value for your money. For such a wide angle lens it produces excellent pictures and the auto focus is good, but the Tokina lens is heavy and costly. It also lacks image stabilization which can be a negative point for some photographers.

The German site PopPhoto has reviewed the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 lens for Canon mount. The lens is also available for Nikon APS-C DSLRs.
This ultra-wide angle lens from Tokina got a constant aperture at f/2.8 and got 18-26mm (35mm equivalent) field-of-view. It seems like an interesting ultra-wide lens alternative.

PopPhoto ends up giving the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens a very good review claiming the lens to be the best ultra-wide angle lens for Canon APS-C DSLRs.
Seems like a very good buy considering that the Tokina lens costs about 600EUR/US$.
