Pros: build quality, aperture, sharpness, colors

Cons: Flare, chromatic aberrations

Opinion: I bought this lens a few years ago approaching landscape photography, it remains my favorite, I use it on a d5200 and it is now my travel companion for landscape photography. Very sharp practically always and the vignetting is always contained, the autofocus works perfectly even if noisy. The build quality is great and of course the lens has its weight. The color rendering for me is fantastic, it suffers from flare but nothing insurmountable as far as I'm concerned, perhaps its biggest problem is the chromatic aberrations.

Pros: Constructive robustness, sharpness, chromatic rendering, rapid autofocus

Cons: Exaggerated flares, chromatic aberrations in special conditions, noisy self-focus

Opinion: I took this lens found at a heist price on ebay. I use it in conjunction with the D7500 and D3300 (with manual focus, since the autofocus engine is not in the lens, which relies on that of the machine body). Despite the now venerable age, it still churns out some very beautiful rows, personally I love the chromatic rendering, especially when combined with a good polarizing filter. Self-focusing on these focal points may not be often needed, but it is very quick (albeit noisy). You get files with good sharpness, they don't fear the 24 mpx at all, not bad for a lens built when the machines it's aimed at had an average of 12 mpx. The construction is excellent, used in difficult conditions has never betrayed me. I like less, however, the suffering to do really exaggerated, it is normal that on focals so the flare is a problem, but on Tokina is really exaggerated, and in addition they turn out huge. Sometimes he suffers from chromatic aberrations. Overall it's still a very good goal, grade 8.

Pros: Robust, crisp, maf, the price used, 2.8 x low light

Cons: flare but no worries.

Opinion: It 'was my first lens after the classic 18-55 kit. They 'almost always mounted, 90% of my photos were made with this fantastic wide-angle. I use it for two years even with closed eyes. It 'clear to all diaphragms, but to really !! maf manual or in af, precise, rarely misses a shot. The 2.8 is useful for darker rooms where SDo you can mount the tripod (like museums, etc.). Like all wide-angle suffer from flare but we are talking about extreme focal lengths and is (almost) inevitable, though carefully and sparingly you can find other pdr during shooting and avoid flare. For the money is now used vehicle is a bargain .... (max 300 €) .rnrnPer lovers Straconsigliato landscapes.

Pros: Bright and sharp. When used properly the distortion is imperceptible.

Cons: Hood a bit 'poor

Opinion: It took a couple of days, is giving me only joy. Bucking say that resists well to flare (I'm lucky I got the pictures in full backlighting spotless) Closing a bit 'the diaphragm becomes crystal clear even at the edges. Returns of beautiful colors well contrasted. Very few chromatic aberrations, vignetting almost absent. I caught a glimpse of a hood used .. so 'homemade' side and repaired. Indeed, it seems a bit 'weakling. For me however, is a gem!

Pros: Brightness, optical quality, construction

Cons: Problem-Flex Cable, flare, assistance

Opinion: Ultrawide light quality, excellent interior freehand, landscape, night, stars ... Weight and construction demonstrate a degree of build quality, performance of the lens are excellent. Beware flare, avoid direct light sources to frame. Unfortunately subject to breaking the flex cable that carries the information to the diaphragm (as on some Canon 24-105), issue to be settled in the Netherlands requires shipment to the service center and approximately € 150, more than a month without a lens ... Many indicate variability in the quality of construction, perhaps the problem of the whole production Tokina: my example, after the replacement of the flex cable, works smoothly churning pictures sharp and focused at all times

Pros: Excellent brightness, quality of construction, solidity, not cheap but the price just in proportion to the yield lente.Ottima cromatica.Obiettivo nice to see at least me.Ottima made with polarizer APSC.

Cons: Flare, can not stand very high lights, almost impossible to mount polarizer on FF.

Opinion: I am a happy owner of this lens for several years and I keep it mounted on APSC is almost always that you have understood even ff ff canon 6 d works very well, canon 650 d APSC works wonders on both gorgeous colors perhaps with a slight tendency to cold, being in contrast with canon that tends to hot this produces a good connubio.Inutile say that about ff, 16 f and a nice grandangolo.Non possible use of ff focal 11,12,13,14, 15,16 the focal si.Certo buy it now Tokina 16-28/2.8 ATX Pro-FX (IF), but then I did not think you can go ff and use this lens, pleasant surprise.

Pros: Build quality, sharpness, 2.8

Cons: Resistance to flare; chromatic aberrations

Opinion: I own this' optical mount canon for several years; then used before on 40D 7D. Used mainly for architectural photography. I could not compare it directly with other lenses of the same focal length but it is definitely better than my kit lens for sharpness, strength and fluidity of the rings. Especially on the 7D is considerable difference to other lenses (eg with canon 17-85). RnLe distortion and chromatic aberrations are corrected easily in PP, care must be taken especially for backlight and light sources in interni.rnIl My final verdict is great, the reduced focal length is amply rewarded by the brightness fixed at 2.8.

Pros: clarity, strength

Cons: resistance to flare

Opinion: I bought this lens as my "photography" is mostly focused on the theme of nature (animals and therefore both natural and urban landscapes). My choice fell on this lens rather than on another (the same age), especially for its brightness that allows you to portray night landscapes and starry skies. After about a month of use I'm really satisfied. It has excellent sharpness and a beautiful color rendition. The only "flaw" is the resistance to flare but just a little bit of attention to manage it.

Pros: strong, sharp

Cons: flare, very convex lens which does not allow the use of standard filters

Opinion: done really well, by the sense of solidity immediately, especially very sharp in the center, loses hair when used in 2.8, against the light but suffers just pay attention to where the sun is framed for the rest I thought it was great, but distortion at the sides for a normal focal length to 11, 16 I used it for portraits and the distortion was controllabilissima

Pros: Aperture 2.8, build quality

Cons: High sensitivity to flare, reduced excursion

Opinion: He was hunting for a wide-angle and keep it that mounted on my 7D and I decided on this. I am very satisfied. A lot of light for interiors and great lenses. Suffers enough flare, but just be careful and use the palaruce provided. A little 'strange instead plunger system to switch between Auto and Manual focus, but you just get used to it. Highly recommended for those looking for a wide angle lens to be used with a car is not FF.

Pros: Short throw, brightness, rectangular projection

Cons: I had problems on 5 different specimens, strength, flare, chromatic, coma

Opinion: It is now the fifth example of this approach, the paper good for the purpose for which I took, or astrophotography, large fields, timelapse. The first two examples arrived, new, had the focus locked, impossible to bring the ring to auto. The third is mechanically broken after a few days of use, at the beginning of a trip abroad where he was to be a highlight. Repaired in service but the result of focus. Replaced with a new one, but did not come to focus to infinity. Finally replaced with another (my fifth copy) and ok only at the center and left, while on the right is completely blurred. I know that if further tests conformed to the problem, I will also return this copy ... bah ... The service was excellent, replacing the lens several times, but apparently the production Tokina leaves much to be desired.

Pros: Robust construction, brightness, sharpness, color rendering

Cons: Flare, reduced focal length, shorter focal higher than other wide-angle lenses in the same price range

Opinion: is definitely a great lens, whose main feature is the maximum aperture to 2.8 at all focal lengths, which makes it advisable for night photos and indoors. For landscapes suffer competition from Sigma, which have focal lengths start at 8 or 10mm and then a greater angle. Cmq sharpness is very good even if the corners lose some '. The colors are perfect, distortion on the norm for these focal lengths, has a little 'AC cmq easily corrected in PP. Solid construction and professional, equipped with hood and with the possibility of applying filters. The worst flaw is that it suffers heavily flare, do landscapes with backlighting, or even worse, with the sun on the frame is problematic. Finally, a very good goal, with a value for money in my opinion great! if you have un'aps-c and you like the picture at night or indoors even freehand is the wide angle for you.

Pros: iris bright, great angle, sharpness, great price

Cons: flare and chromatic aberration

Opinion: I tried a wide angle pushed but, unlike all other wide-angle lenses, is characterized by a diaphragm very bright. This makes it suitable for use by hand or in low-light situations. I noticed a fair tendency to chromatic aberrations but all easily removed with ps. In addition to the tokina on aps-c I'd be curious to try the 8-16 Sigma but the highest price, the diaphragm dim and the uncertainty of build quality I have done absolutely regret buying the tokina. I recommend it to anyone thinking of using the wide-angle also freehand or with poor light, but also for lovers of the countryside if they can withstand an angle of less than sigma.

Pros: Sharpness, brightness, strength and construction

Cons: Tendency to flare, focal length reduced.

Opinion: When I bought this light I did so with the knowledge that it was not perfect optics, but I was more than certain that possessed the characteristics I was looking for. The greatest advantages available to this Tokina, are in my opinion the sharpness, really good and the minimum aperture of f/2.8 on the whole (short) hike. I love shooting at night and such an opening performance allows almost unique to a super wide angle like this, even indoors or at least dark. The sore point of this is in my opinion bell'obbiettivo resistance to flare, not great and the hike for some might be limiting. For me that initially I wanted even a fixed, certainly not was and at the same time is what contributes to the confere excellent sharpness that the lens has. Lately I have also purchased the 'Sigma 8-16, (another "piece of history", are a lover of extreme focal), but I decided to keep the Tokina also, due to its virtually unique features.
