The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on August 30, 2018 Pros: Sharpness, robustness, colors Cons: Those already highlighted in the other comments... weight, stabilizer and flare Opinion: Turning to a FF (D750) to the kit was missing a great angle, I opted for the Tokina for both the positive comments that for the cost, I have not yet done many photos so my comment more than a judgement I consider a ' first impression ', for what I have seen are not At all regretful of the purchase and until now even with little light I never needed the tripod (the stabilizer would not suck but it is not as essential as I thought), the flare there are but this I had already put into account, I think that price is not there No other comparable so honestly if one does not have "unlimited" budget I consider it a great choice. |
 | sent on December 09, 2017 Pros: Solid, clear, excellent construction quality Cons: Weight, flare, filters Opinion: Lens bought after much indecision with the Nion 14-24mm and I have to say satisfied with the result. Bright optic, clear already at f2.8, excellent quality of materials and very solid. You get results comparable to nikon 14-24mm for a third of the price. On the other hand there is the bulbous shape of the lens which makes it impossible to apply conventional filters, and inevitably causes flare backlighting. In any case, very satisfied. |
| sent on December 08, 2017 Pros: Bright, solid and well built, heavy (quality f2.8), sharpness and colors Cons: switching from autofocus to manual focus and vice versa, sometimes the auto focus stops (problem that can be solved in a moment); Flare (in special conditions). Opinion: I bought this lens used, and I currently use it on an APSC format, so I'm not using it well, but for now I like it: the photos are beautiful, the colors pleasing, very clear. The Flare suffers in backlit photos, but sometimes it does not mind, it could be a desired effect. Otherwise, better to move a bit or change a little framing.rnThe advice because I think it is good value for money. |
 | sent on November 05, 2017 Pros: Beautiful colors, crisp, old fashioned tank. Cons: Flareeeeeee, Autofocus uncertain. Opinion: I bought the optics in question recently, the enthusiasm I got off quickly after having made night shots with lateral lanterns, very arrears, I do not know how it was possible but the lens absorbed them all in a way hungry, creating real pallets, ruining all the photos .... autofocus at night, very uncertain, indeed with the night seems to hang, I'm very sorry .... because the colors and sharpness are great. |

 | sent on July 25, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, price, chromatic rendering, constructive distortion low quality. Cons: Inevitable flare given the shape of the lens. Opinion: After so many positive opinions I decided to buy this goal and I have to say that my expectations have become concrete. I bought it again at 650 euros with regular warranty and I assure you that with that sum you will be satisfied. I had thought of the nikkor 14-24 2.8 but for one used, although in excellent condition but without warranty Nital, they asked 1,600 euros. Highly recommended. |
  | sent on June 21, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, materials, colors, MAF, brightness, price, precise and silent Cons: Flare Opinion: The choice was between him and the samyang, in the end I chose him and I do not regret it. Fabulous wide angle, very clear at 2.8 with closed diaphragms is a blade. Materials in my opinion are great, fast focus, precise and silent, right weight. I used it for landscaping, astro, street and it has always given me great satisfaction, only flaw in my opinion is the flare, though a slight light in the lens, generate colorful bows and light bubbles. Given the price, I would say that there is nothing better |
 | sent on May 02, 2017 Pros: A fantastic goal to deal with delicacy not only for the fantastic lens that protrudes in the front but also at the various focal points. Excellent results in all conditions and colors returned in a brilliant way. Fast focus. Cons: Heavy but not too much. Competition does not do better Opinion: After seeing and reading continued canon and nikon resolutions I decided to try this wide-angle by linking it to a full frame nikon, the excellent results have captured me, making me take it as a handy goal everywhere. The amplitude and the zoom make it prefer to the most sophisticated samyang but it does not have auomatic focus. Overall a fantastic lens ...... best light ever from a 18-35 nikon 3.5 to 4.5 or a 17-35 canon 2.8. Tokina has amazed me even if in some moments weighs ;-). Live the cheapest lens compared to Sony, Nikon and Canon ;-) |
 | sent on April 29, 2017 Pros: Robustness, construction, sharpness, brightness, price Cons: Weight (actually I like it but I know that for many would be a problem), flare, initial adaptation to the AF Opinion: Finally I was able to test this wide-angle with the 5D mark III, promoted to full vote. Comparison with the canon 17-40mm L that I have been short of time is impetuous, I know that in all probability I had a particularly unlucky lens but on 3 factors there are no stories: better construction, sharpness from the center edges, distortion and vignetting at All acceptable focal lengths. The canon sprays with maximum apertures and focal lengths were embarrassing, the only thing I can say best about the canon are the typically warm and "crunchy" colors, the Tokina fights more on the cold but in PP it remedies right away. With a FF body weighs well just inserted into the body, extreme focuses, helped by a little excursion, really hold distortion, vignetting and sharpness. Obviously on a tripod you can safely close the diaphragms useful to the landscape, both urban and natural, where sharpness becomes sharp. Good color response, however, as well as general photo resolution. I must admit that you used to choose fireWith typical canon switches (but also other brands use the same) was not immediately accustomed to the Tokina method or with the advancement in the final part of the lens by carrying it forward or behind it. Finally, the big defect that few add to this lens , The flare: I can not say that I have used it in all its shades, I lack backlights, side lights and lightning, etc. And so I'm waiting to see the effects of this poor hold, but after 4 intensive days with light day / night I did not have one. It's a big corner I can recommend to those who want to start off with a PRO wide-angle lens with a unique high-quality AF lens and wide brightness. In order to stay on this good relationship, you have to move on the samyangs they talk about Well but we are on the "whole manual" without it and without it. |
 | sent on February 01, 2017 Pros: Quality, sharpness, brightness, price Cons: flare Opinion: Target selected from the Tamron 15-30 and 14-24 nikon because of the price, I am very satisfied because with 400 euro I found a very good lens. rnParto by saying that absolutely can not be compared to the level to those of Nikon lenses, the 14-24 does not fight and can not be said contrario.rnLa construction is solid, according to many is a plasticone but handheld and I tested the competitors mentioned above I must say that looks good is not even a po.rnL'autofocus ultrasound but found him not at all slow, even with D610 is very veloce.rnLa sharpness is excellent, a little more around 20mm, at f11 is a samurai..rnNon blade like the flare against the light, but is a consequence of the lack of treatment of lenti.rnLa my conclusion is that if you do not want to spend a fortune for your outfit and look for a more objective landscaped that great, this is for voi.rnrn |
 | sent on September 20, 2016 Pros: build quality, 2, 8 sharp crisp as it serves but rather being a 2, 8 focus where it should be physically, accurate and silent af, 16mm straight, distorts little or nothing real deep colors colors and contrast human, beautiful blurry TA not nervous (for what you need but if you need is good), since you have a fixed minimum range you need when you need it, no sticker, af manual Very precise, zero backlash and rattle see some sigma-end average, solid, built wisely and you can understand it already eyeing a simple screw on barilotto.Direi many other things, but the risk of sounding biased. Cons: With the sun beating down or otherwise in framing generates flare and gost simply because the front lens has a convexity 'almost fisheye and light sources generates rainbow flare. Filters and filter holders expensive Opinion: Cell I recently but I have changed the goals, I did not have the nikon for much but I tried the well and at 14 I did not like distortion, however, I do not think is the remake of the story of the fox and grapes, not simply the nikon l comprare.lo I could recommend to those who still can find new and who should come across a used I think, that after testing thoroughly helpful and least wise accattarselo skeet avoiding to take the great sun (disappointments) because this the price target in question is a miracle. |

 | sent on August 11, 2016 Pros: Sharpness, F2.8, color rendering, construction, price Cons: Flare, weight Opinion: Beautiful optics, very sharp even at TA. The distortion is not particularly annoying and vignetting that is more manageable. The construction and quality of materials is excellent, I consider it a valid alternative "low cost" to the legendary 14-24 nikon. The only flaw is the weight, but given the brightness and focal length I think is inevitable. |
 | sent on April 16, 2016 Pros: Construction, sharpness, color reproduction Cons: flare Opinion: I had the tokina 11-16 on right and what about ... the same qualities and the same defects. As the little brother suffers terribly flare especially in certain circumstances it reproduces the rainbow. The sharpness at f2.8 is disappointing, to f4 good but to me most frequently used focal lengths from xi landscapes, ie f 5.6 to 8 and 11 is simply outstanding. Faithfully reproduces colors, high contrast already in the room, perfect weight balance with nikon d750. The construction is the usual one of tokina ... It seems indestructible ... Highly recommended. |
 | sent on April 01, 2016 Pros: Bright magnificent building great sharpness and perfect fast autofocus Cons: Weight (I knew and I like) lack of insert screw filters. At night or indoors and illuminated by spotlights have to live with flare ... unfortunately Opinion: I will write on the forum a little more about this topic because this morning just arrived I had the opportunity to snap a few pictures from the balcony of the house, and I was immediately and sincerely entusiasta.rnLa thing that is perceived before operating it and l ' extreme robustness and build quality. We all know that the lens hood is fixed and can not be used to screw thread, for me frankly is not a problem, of course the possibility to use a polarizer would have liked, but we must "put on" at least another 300 Euros to get to canon, and I honestly think I can handle still in post. The quality polarizer possess it for 24 ta tamron and I realize often not usarlo.rnNell'uso Everyone will appreciate its great clarity already f4 (I have not tried to 2.8) the speed and accuracy of focus saturated colors and above all the absence of any noticeable distortions already at 16 mm of ff.rnRipeterò forum on this topic withparticolarirnciao more! |
| sent on November 27, 2015 Pros: Robust, sharpness very very good, little distortion, even in full color gamut excellent raw ... Cons: Like the Nikon 14-24, the lens protrudes ... can weigh a little after, this flare in certain situations ... Opinion: already owner of the Nikon 14-24 f2.8 ... of which I have been fully satisfied, even if the nikon a hint of flare evidenced it, then I sold it to my needs ... spent a short time I went in search of the same focal length and the store where I go I usually brought the tokina as an inexpensive alternative to Nikon, (economical only in the price) ... hesitant ... I got it and I can say that is really satisfying .. .immagini crisp, clean, colored to perfection ... the raw have a very wide color scheme (I memorize shots in RAW, Adobe RGB) to have a wider color gamut possible ... and at this point is, the flare that many note leaked, was also present in the Nikon, only that in the latter the treatment of the lenses was / is more consistent ... while in tokina is more sensitive. The best evidence would have the chance to do exactly the same backlight but not only changing optical camera position. Altogether the council vivamente. I rnNon know as is the Tamron 15-30 ... if I could update qualc'uno thank him. |
| sent on November 12, 2015 Pros: Value for money, made from f / 4, color, zoom range, robustness, price. Cons: Use f / 2.8-4, weight and size, use filters, flare. Opinion: Definitely the best super-wide zoom for its money. At f / 2.8 is pretty much useless, but by f / 4 the yield is already very good, from f / 5.6 is fantastic: the pictures are really detailed, distortion at 16mm is of course obvious but 20mm is poor, also produces excellent color if personally too saturated and contrasted. The lens is as heavy as others in its class, however, the feeling of an objective robust and indestructible mode af-mf lens can not find it uncomfortable and hiking from 16 to 28 mm I find it interesting, perfect for many types of photography. Unfortunately it is not possible the use of screw-on filters because the lens is protruding (such as 14-24 nikkor), and perhaps the biggest minus is the flare that in sunny days without clouds is practically always present (even the so-called ' 'rainbow' '). RNLA lens as I said toits price is really great, and putting aside the flare and the little goodness to use f / 2.8 is a more attractive alternative to expensive 14-24 (I have used paid but almost new 450 euro ... ) that costs three times. Good lens, I was stunned. |
 | sent on May 29, 2015 Pros: Quality Value Unbeatable Price, Constructive Quality, Sharpness, Fast AF and Precise, Silent Cons: It suffers in backlight, but even more the transverse rays resulting in flare, is not a feather Opinion: The optics purchased for the Nikon D610, the thing that strikes when taking this target, is definitely the construction quality, and the care with which it is made, looks a lot like Nikon's Pro optics, aesthetically in my opinion very beautiful. The weight is important 1 KG but I add quality, I already enjoyed the sharpness, colors and contrast of the Nikon D610, its weakness is the backlight, but with a bit of experience you can overcome this defect, From which other wide-angle targets are not exempt. Now I use the Tokina on the Nikon D810 and am very satisfied, great detail. Definitely recommended.rnrnI add that the design and optical quality is comparable to the Nikon 14-24, which I own, which costs a lot more (if they found a solution to the flare would be a nice fight) |
 | sent on April 10, 2015 Pros: When you find a perfect specimen and you do not need assistance worth Cons: Some specimens may not be perfect, and if you have trouble assistance is not up. Opinion: The lens itself in terms of characteristics would not be bad but unfortunately the specimens have some variability that combined with assistance outside Italy and a long time can give a lot of discomfort. My last example (Canon) had blocked the diaphragm and was made 45 days in return for repair with screws screwed bayonet bad (not mounted the lens). I refused to withdraw it and I ordered a Canon 16-35. Third parties should not only improve the characteristics as they did but treat more production in terms of tolerances and make real the guarantees they offer, it is useless to declare four years warranty proud and then keep the optics for a month and a half leaving them back that does not mount. |
 | sent on January 06, 2015 Pros: Sharpness and little distortion (for the type of lens) are the first things, solid construction and the value for money definitely beneficial. Cons: Flare backlit, fire selector automatic / manual impractical. Opinion: I bought this lens at the suggestion of the dealer, I was directed to Samyang and I must say it was a board of which I thank him very much. This objective has surprised me for its quality, in every sense. Probably is better but not at this price. that is all that I paid. Utilizzabilissimo with very little distortion even at 16mm. |
 | sent on December 12, 2014 Pros: Sharpness, autofocus, strength, value for money, no distortion and vignetting. Cons: Weight, flare Opinion: Objective characterized by a great price. From the first shots you can appreciate the sharpness at all openings that leaves literally speechless (when I compare the pictures taken with this tokina with those taken with the Canon 24-105 there own story). The colors that returns are real, not overly saturated. The autofocus is fast and accurate. Body very solid and sturdy but 950 grams of weight are not just during long walks. Combined with a full frame, however, returns a well-balanced body. In some lighting conditions is sensitive to flare. Summing up, I think a lens with a total of such high quality, affordable new at a price just under 700 Euros, is more than recommended. I are very satisfied. |

 | sent on April 06, 2014 Pros: This razor really slow, strong and clear, but it is a normal AF lens basically the landscape. And certainly the price, paid less than € 700 could be worth the quality of the equivalent Nikon ... Cons: The weight feels, the dial to the MF I find it horrible to put a simple button, and basically the fact that you can not use any filter ... Opinion: I used the Tamron 17-50 for a few years with little satisfaction, then I noticed a few photos with this Tokina that few possess. It seems to get on another planet. Great sharpness and after the f5.6 becomes excellent, virtually no aberration vignettatura.rnPenso that it is an objective exceptional landscaping. I'm curious to see how it behaves in the night where I have not yet experienced. |
 | sent on August 28, 2013 Pros: robust construction, 16 mm sharpness is excellent in the center as in the extreme corners already F/5.6, reduced distortion, new front cap (supplied with the objectives of recent production), vignetting and chromatic aberrations very small price Cons: the weight is felt in the long run (but one that had the strength and the large front lens), switch for switching between f and mf system that can like it or not is fast but not as the most precise system canon, flare evident "to rainbow" in some situations Opinion: I wrote this review, canon for all users like me who want a good alternative to the admittedly excellent 16-35 f 2.8 II. I can not make a comparison between the two because I've never used the canon but in the past I've owned for a long time and used a lot of the tokina 12-24 f4 1st series, Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6 Series II, sigma 24 f 2.8, Nikon 28 f2.8, Nikon 28-70 f2.8 and I can compare it to 24 with the canon 24-70 mm f 2.8 series that I still possess. We must say that is a great goal, robust, bright f2.8 but regardless of the focal length set at the center sharpness is very good, good at the edges but only average in the extreme edges. At f4 the sharpness in the middle becomes excellent, very good edges and good in the extreme corners. From f5.6 to f11 instead of the shot becomes excellent sharpness throughout the frame extreme angles compresi.Premessi the pros and cons that I wrote before, I would say that is a great lens to do everything but finds its highest expression in the panoramic photos. I have paid 730 euro in a physical store and for what it's worth from tests photozone and if dxombra that optically, is slightly higher than the 16-35 f 2.8 II. The situation is different if the focus a bit faster, tropicalization, the focal range of up to 35 mm and light weight are your priorities in this case it is better to be canon. An optical L-series has always stood for quality, but if the difference in cost is 540 Euros (!) And quality guaranteed by the tokina is in many ways indisputable, this price difference is just evaluate it, so a little something more in-depth in my opinion is right do it. |
 | sent on December 03, 2012 Pros: Lens certainly very bright, excellent construction, and of normal weight, good price Cons: The front lens cap, virtually non-existent plasticaccia that you can not stop, certainly for € 900 you could do better, Flare also against the diaphragm in the very closed. Opinion: Tokina lenses I already knew because I already have the other 16-50 for DX and conviction of my son I am satisfied for now I used anchors its potential, but I plan to try it (then saw that I paid € 700 New ) because the store where I use will not take more Tokina so it was a good opportunity |
 | sent on November 29, 2012 Pros: Objective really fantastic, I knew nothing of his goodness and engraving! In comparison 14 24 f2.8 nikkor almost equal, with a price less than half that in a few I have daughters and recommend it to everyone that lens tokina 16 28 f2 .8 atx ff !! Cons: Lacks nothing in this tokina except ergonomics, but not from thermore I'm forced to take pictures in the rain !! Opinion: I am very happy with this lens at the beginning I was very scared of buying just tried but I was very taken by the emotion for his incision around, and do not regret other brands already known !! Do not be afraid, I recommend it to everyone, even those who have many needs and that will have great pictures and you seem to take with another machine just tried !! |
