11/19/2023 0 Comments Tokina 11 16 canon full frameI purchased this UWA on the word of several glowing reviews. You pay your money and take the choice.Ĭonclusion? If you are interested in great IQ and a well-built piece of kit at an almost consumer price this is the ONLY option. Yes the Samyang 14mm is possibly sharper (definitely on a FF) but then it is a prime and putting filters on is a no-no, and the Tokina goes to 11mm on a DX. What? No way - its fast and just why do you need it to focus from 1m - infinity in 1/20 second instead of 1/10? Autofus is also reasonably quiet - but face it guys - who needs it when everything between 1m and infinity is in focus at 11 mm and F8.But if video is your thing then my advice is get and external mike. You might read here that it focuses slow. The level of integration with the D7000 and d700 is great.for example use trhe push/pull manual focus ring and it disengages menu functions as it should. No, its not quite at the standard of the 14-24 Nikkor but then it is only 40% of the price. The zoom is well weighted and the focus ring feels slightly damped - its just right. No the corners are not sharp on an FX but its certainly handy to be able to use it in the right circumstances.īuild quality is simply outstanding for the money. A bonus for me is that it works from 16-14mm on my D700 FX with some very slight corner shading at 14mm. IQ generally seems better at 11 mm but there isnt much in it between that an 16mm. image corners are soft at F2.8 better at F4 and sharp sharp sharp beyond that. Sure it doesnt have the same factor 2 zoom range but who cares when its so sharp and fast?ĭown to specifics the IQ in the centre is very high at any setting. It is hard to believe that this lens sells for the same price as a F4.5 10-20mm sigma here in New Zealand because in my mind its a no-contest. Here are some photos taken with the Canon 40D: Visit my FB page to get updates on new videos and specific gear used so you know how it was shot Because of the 2.8 aperture, I was able to record more light thus the clip being brighter and was able to use the clips from the lens for the official mv. You can tell which shots were with the Tokina. Other lenses used for this video was a Canon 50mm 1.8 and 18-135mm 3.5-5.6. Highly recommended for low light/video shooting like how I did with this music video I shot: I preferred the Sigma 10-20mm and Tokina 12-24mm because at their long end it's close to the full frame equivalent of 35mm which I used often. What I don't like about this lens is the short zoom range. But I never owned a fast UWA like this at f2.8, and I gotta say that it does make a difference. I've had and owned a few UWA and have reviewed them on this website. I bought this lens because I wanted an UWA.
