Pros:Excellent sharpness, building, weight, no distortion
Cons:Flare and hood
Opinion:It 'was my first and my first wide angle lens for my Nikon D80 not. The overall quality is beyond question, it is an excellent lens. Unfortunately, the flare is worth all the money difference with a Nikkor 12-24 or 10-24 (with which I replaced). At 12mm the lens hood enters into the picture, which does not happen with nikkor 10-24 at 10mm but at least this problem is solved by purchasing a new hood. Really, if you are (like me) you have to choose between a Tokina (version so with less flare !!) to 300 euro (used) or a nikkor 400 Euros or more (still used) choose absolutely the Nikkor. Otherwise you'll have to do the triple somersaults to avoid the flare, the understanding that for the rest of the lens is of excellent quality.
Opinion:It 'a very very well built instrument. The two nuts are a wonder (even that of the MAF you can 'turn with just the little finger) .rnTuttavia has in its functional: cartoon, not' extra-bright, it is not perfectly clear / limpido.rnVignetta, especially f4 and especially to 12mm, but the constant haze and 'still a feature of this lens, a bit' in all lengths and all openings (unless you close it completely). RNLA main consequence and 'always an opacity' cross this, and an operational limitation of PP, where the photos are a bit '-lessate-. Definitely a special effect, that makes artistic motif, if you will, but if it becomes a habit, can 'disturb, this -tempera- effect of shades ... these pasty forms and sepia. Works best between f8 and f16.rnI colors are typical Tokina: tending to hot, so the yield is usually 'soft'. In the backlighting it is weak and loses contrast and dettaglio.rnIl hood engages abit 'too, so much so that it disengages depart' Madonnas', and at the risk of spezzarlo.rnNel complex and 'a good travel companion, taking into account that it is' light, is sufficiently clear (not to scream), has a low distortion , and you buy it as well well used.
Pros:Quality construction, controlled distortion, good sharpness, color rendition.
Cons:Poor resistance to flare.
Opinion:I have used this wide angle of 40d for a year and I was definitely soddisfatto.rnIn primarily the construction is really good, strong and refined. The distortion is always controlled and easily correctable, very sharp even in the corners and with a good yield cromatica.rnPeccato for the poor resistance to flare, though for me is the best wide angle as value for money.
Cons:lack of sharpness and strong chromatic aberrations, flare.
Opinion:provato.mi just realized that we would not agree. aps.c the reflex sensors with dense really shows its limiti.non I know how to talk so well in this vein., which will be used to more .. but we are very far from sufficienza.impasta and chromatic aberrations are tremende.sempre presenti.visto which costs over 500 euro I can safely say that .. not worth it .. its has an excellent construction .. but no .. made in all apertures ..
Pros:I have the version DXII. Very low distortion from 14-15mm up and always easily corrected, fidelity and color rendering (almost identical to the Nikkor), sharpness (high even at f / 4, f/5.6 and up excellent even at the edges), like construction a tank!, very usable focal range, af fast enough and accurate value for very advantageous price.
Cons:flare (with highlights always present in the field and sometimes really annoying), ac always present (but still easily recoverable in post production), switch AF-MF
Opinion:I was looking for a wide angle with a focal range well exploited in various situations (close-up photos, seascape & landscape, reportage and street) that it did keep me attached without too many changes of perspective. Discarded the excellent 11-16 for this reason I dived on 12-24. I estimated also used nikkor 12-24 but in the end I decided to take the tokina again, even for low distortion and easily corregibile (not to wave as the nikkor or sigma 10-20). The yield of color (compared to my 24-120) is very similar and not known annoying dominant. The construction is fabulous ... nothing to say. Suffers from chromatic aberration (which are still in a normal wide) that are always able to fix with little effort .. I took the version DXII why it should be better than the first from the point of view of "flare", but the result is not as impressive .. So if this DXII suffer so much, I do not want to imagine what the first version: P Ps with a bit of commitment (shield with the hand, slightly change camera angle, etc. ..) the flare of the sun, however, can be well controlled! Therefore recommended according to the requirements.
Pros:Professional construction throughout, Engraved wide open 12 to 23
Cons:Softens a little 'to 24 f4 but recovers quickly
Opinion:I have version DXII (Red Line and internal motor for Nikon). It seemed right then to write the first review. I got to cover the range up to 24 and come from the superb 11-16 f2.8 tokina. Honestly I miss the 11-16 f2 .8 and its usability but I must admit that this is really the way already 12-24 F4. I was also pleasantly surprised by the distortion rather controlled, especially when compared with his brother 11-16 to 11. Of Tokina now I know I can trust, construction, optical and mechanical, is absolutely flawless. The lens transmits precision and safety in all its parts and the yield is certainly excellent. I am extremely happy with our purchase. The new anti-glare really works I hope that the update also 11-16 with the same coating.
Pros:Sharpness, construction, color, focal ratio constant, f traditional but very reliable
Cons:Flare with the sun high in the vicinity of the scene (version I), pump mechanism of MF impractical, AC a bit 'high at the edges (but correctable).
Opinion:Optics very good, excellent construction, I had for some time before moving to Canon10-22 to have a 10mm and a 12, that on APS-C is not yet spintissimo. The focal range is still very usable and you can start with this one lens .... if you do not have to do extreme naturalism! The Canon offered me much more saturated colors and a little 'more contrast, but held in the hand like a toy compared to the Tokina. If the version II has solved the problems of flare and wide looking for a not too extreme but enough space, is a view consigliabilissima!
Cons:too little flare and some AC but nothing because
Opinion:A great lens even considering the price (I have paid 300 euro used). I have the previous version of this (the one without the dash red) and the sharpness is great, the colors are perfect, saturated at the right point, no dominant. Like all Tokina is built very well and it is also very heavy (more than half a kg). It 's the typical landscapes lens also saw the maximum aperture of f4 fixed and is not the best but for landscapes at f11 is perfect, even wide open corners remains crystal clear.
