Pros: Excellent quality/price, solid and robust.

Cons: Bulky hood, sharpness at f/4 leaves something to be desired.

Opinion: I'm trying it on a Canon 6D and I must say that for the price I bought it new stock fund at 380 euros, it is a great lens. I also own the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM and if I have to compare it to the quality / price the Tokina exceeds it greatly. Of course the Canon at f / 4 is much sharper both in the center and at the edges but if both you close them at f / 5.6 you notice only a little noise in the Tokina when you enlarge the image, which then with click in Lightroom you remove it with the same or imperceptible result. I recommend it to those who want a wide angle with little expense and a lot of yield.

Pros: cost, weight, construction, sharpness from f/8, minimum distortion, internal zoom, filters 82mm

Cons: Suffers a bit of flare, af not very fast

Opinion: I bought this lens for my trip to the US and I can say it's not bad at All. It has a great color rendering and Sharpness. From F/8 onwards is a blade, a bit soft to TA. I was looking for a wide angle for my Nikon D750 at a price not too high and I found it. I brought home gorgeous shots both day and night. It is a lens that I think is often underestimated, but that is worth trying.

Pros: Cost, PESO and footprint, sharpness

Cons: flare, inconvenient AF/MF passage

Opinion: Overall very recommended lens, low price, quality with reduced weight and footprints, from dx. Absolutely acceptable distortion. Taken as I was looking for something crisp and light to take on the road, taking advantage of the ability to use the 82mm filters I already owned for sigma 24-105. Not recommended for astronomy as f4. Switching from af to mf cumbersome, uncomfortable when working with nd filters. Presence of flare not indifferent

Pros: Possibility ND (82mm), f / 8 sharpness, colors, good backlighting

Cons: Green and pink fringing in high light situations

Opinion: Worth what costs, at f / 8 - f / 11, a soft knife to TA if you print over 24x36. Light and not too big is a good companion of the landscapers with sunbeds and sunsets where the best, the possibility of mounting filters (82mm). I used it on FF but I guess it can only improve on DX. Vignette more than acceptable. For architecture it is good because it offers really small distortions.

Pros: Robust, crystal clear, very comfortable on focal FF, colors, excellent contrast

Cons: diameter filters 82, lens hood

Opinion: I use this lens on Canon 5D Mark II. The focal are very comfortable in when you have access to wide angle and normal for all situations. It is a very convenient target, not very heavy and perfectly balances on the 5D. Quality of fantastic images, like all wide-angle Tokina, who knows to do good. The lack of stabilizatore is not for me a fault and although it is a F4 handles well. The contrast is great and the sharpness at all apertures is truly remarkable. Distortion even a shadow, just trickle No, but I see they are in post. The colors are beautiful beautiful .. I too saturated or too neutral. maybe the red a little cold, but this may be a personal matter. In PP you can pull off the remarkable fine detail. In outing, in the street, in landscapes, it may very well turn with only this perspective. TA has already usabilissimo, but as soon as you close it becomes a little blade, for landscapes I go iperfocale and never went beyond the F9. glass Recommended

Pros: the lens is not too bad, sharp enough, not heavy as well as compact

Cons: in my opinion often it tends to underexpose when dark areas appear in the frame, so then underexpose a bit all over the restornchi Lee uses filters must have a non-wide given the wide ring that does not snap at all well at this paraluca ... I consider it a defect grosso.rnho fact had also ordered the ring non-wide (70 eurozzi including ss)

Opinion: was looking for a very wide angle of more 24/105 sigma art that already possedevornla choice was not very wide, nikon f4 16/34, 08/02 and 16/28 tokina suddettornil tokina is too heavy and bulky although 2.8 but making mainly landscapes 2.8 was not essential so I opted for the F4rnnon there often use, the surprise was when after buying the holder of LEE the ring would not snap frontalmente.rnho I had to then buy back a second non-wide ring LEE losing definitely the shots at 17 mm because surely the photo vignetterà the focal more short (I have yet to test it sincerely)

Pros: build quality, minimal distortion even at 17mm, sharpness, brightness, distance close focus

Cons: Step AF / MF sinecure

Opinion: A great angle to an honest price. I use it on a Nikon d750. I bought it mostly for URBEX photographs, but actually I'm taking also mounted for other types of services. Angle really broad, remarkable sharpness, almost no distortion. It will not be 2.8 but it's still a bright lens. Missing stabilization but on such short focal length (17mm to 35mm) it is impossible to notice. I find it complicated the transition from manual to automatic fire because it is constructed in a way that I had never seen on other goals, but it's probably only a matter of habit. Note: a month after purchase came via a gold string 1mm thick that surrounded the goal. Not a prelude any funzionamente but it seemed strange because the lens to be the impression of being built really well. In any case, it recommended.

Pros: Build quality, clarity, precision

Cons: small hood

Opinion: Purchased in alternative to Samyang 14 f2.8 and used on a Canon 6d for a week. It has not been removed. I find it beautiful. Some of the most "painterly" the objectives that I have used so far. Fantastic on FF angle apertura.rnUna remarkable sharpness. The build quality makes it a precious object. I highly recommend it especially to those accustomed to 50 mm ff and want to discover another world.

Pros: Construction, sharpness, low distortion, dial precise distances, speed in going from AF / MF....rn

Cons: The lens hood (rarely) is insufficient.

Opinion: For 10 days in Sardinia I have only used this lens and I was sorpreso.rnNitidissimo the center, using it with D7100 use only that part of the objective being to FX; the distortion is almost non-existent; also great for photo with flowers on the minimum distance of focus! rnIl hood I was a little disappointed ...
