Tokina ATX-I 11-16mm f/2.8 CF Plus

Pros: Edge-to-edge sharpness, dynamic range, natural colors, no vignetting, no distortion

Cons: AF/MF mechanism

Opinion: I bought this lens after owning the Sigma 8-16 for several years and trying the Tamron 10-24 and the Canon 10-18. Among these, the Tokina stands out clearly and, combined with my Canon 70d, gives practically perfect shots. Surely its strong point is the sharpness that is amazing to the point that it keeps up with my other Canon L series lenses (24-70 f/4 and 70-200 f/4). It may seem like an exaggeration but it is so. Another feature that confirmed to me that I spent my money well is the dynamic range combined with color quality that is very natural. Finally, for the pros, the absence of distortion (obviously with the machine in the bubble) and an imperceptible vignetting that does not need any correction. It does not suffer from chromatic aberration and the flare, despite what I have read around, is very well controlled as long as you keep its hood fixed. I indicated as against the AF / MF switch mechanism but on this I must point out that the negative opinion depends on the fact that the first specimen received had the switch blocked (and I read in several reviews on Amazon the possibility of this defect) but after making the return and replacement with a new product, the mechanism works perfectly. As for the concept, I think it is more functional than the classic on/of stick because in this way you do not need to remove the camera from the frame to switch to autofocus, or vice versa. Overall I am really satisfied with this lens which, among other things, has a very attractive aesthetic and excellent build and material quality.
