The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on January 09, 2020 Pros: Brightness - Focus Excursion - Build Quality Cons: It has no real cons, perhaps the absence of stabilizer, but serves little on a wide-angle Opinion: I had the pleasure of owning this wonderful lens. Let's start with THE CONSTRUCTION, it looks like a small compact hard plastic cylinder like a tank, remarkable the quality of the plastics and controls of zoom and rubber focus. The lens does not extend when zooming. The lampshade is grafted with an anti-atomic mechanism. The lens also supports 82mm screw filters, which you want to tell them. It should be noted the presence of ghieres that make the lens tropicalized (even between room and lens). As for the AUTOFOCUS, it works quietly and quite well-performing, although it is not a native canon lens, really remarkable (certainly we talk about a wide angle on aps-c the depth of field helps a lot, but also at 20mm 2.8 (32mm equiv.), i've never had a problem with it. An audible hair, but nothing serious. It has the window for fire distances (never used, I prefer to use 10x zoom in live view). Nothing serious about the switching system, which I like and gives this brand its character. For the image quality is really remarkable, impressive sharpness, with 24-megapixel room, good at the edges at full opening, fantastic to central diaphragms. Marked the distortion to 11mm (as it is obvious it is), easily rerunable in posts with slow profile on lightroom. Personally I made some of my best photos, also ideal for astrophotography (we say it is the only real lens available for aps-c canon). I would add that it can be successfully mounted on full frame, using it from 14mm up. Nothing serious about the management of the flare, from serious problems only shooting in contrasting scenes against light, causing you to lose definition to what is in the shade. Let's say you either choose another angle or you give up taking the photo, but you'll get it once in 1000 photos. Buy this masterpiece and forget about the 10 22 canons or worse still the 10-18 dark as the night. |
 | sent on November 24, 2019 Pros: Brightness, value for money, field angle, material quality, sharpness. Cons: Inconvenient zoom dial if with "rest" lampshade Opinion: I have been using this lens on Nikon D7100 for three years and I must say that I am satisfied! Overall the AF is quite fast, the building materials are good and it is very bright. The switch from AF to MF is simple but perhaps slightly cumbersome, once every ten steps the dial struggles to gear. The only con that I often encounter (not serious) is the difficulty in using the zoom dial as the lampshade is in a resting position towards the body of the camera, I almost always use a polarizer and sometimes it is inconvenient to find the lampshade that blocks the movement of the hands. I would say a great choice depending on the value for money and I recommend it to everyone! I recommend the paired lens - 82mm filter. |
user173146  | sent on September 15, 2019 Pros: Sharpness.. brightness and price Cons: Dial focus from manual to automatic ... flaire backlight Opinion: I have this lens for some time and I can express my concrete opinion .... I think it's a fantastic lens for sharpness and price.... I use it coupled with my beloved Nikon d7200 .... I do not think there is better at this price even if it has its limits backlight with the classic flaire but with shrewdness you manage to avoid .... Textbook to automatic sled focus that is annoying and fits most of the time and also to add the size of the filters from 82 mm that nn are very cheap ...... otherwise a big lens over-recommended |
 | sent on March 09, 2019 Pros: Bright, solid, crisp, versatile Cons: MAF Pass ring, 11mm distortion, flare, maybe it lacks a mm of wide angle compared to the competition Opinion: Starting with the cons, the classic Tokina flare is also present on this optic, but having also had the 11-16 II, I can affirm that things have improved, both in terms of resistance and aesthetic, or when it is present is not so unpleasant. It distorts a bit to 11mm, nothing that can not be corrected in PP but it is a thing to take into account during the shooting. The ring nut to switch from AF to MF is uncomfortable and not really fluid. The positive sides of this lens outclass the negatives abundantly... The brightness of the lenses and the sharpness, acceptable even at the edges, make it the best wide angle for DX. Before him I had the 11-16 2.8 and then the Nikon 10-24 3.5-5.6, and I tried the Sigma 10-20 3.5 of a friend. The only one that I regret is the Nikon but only for the extreme versatility, however the Tokina 11-20 tears it with low hands in brightness and sharpness, especially at the edges. The 11-20 focal range covers a wide spectrum of wide angle/superwide angles so much that I've kept it mounted for a long time in several trips and mountain hikes. For APS-C I don't think there's any better... |
  | sent on November 05, 2018 Pros: Sharpness, robust, general quality, F 2.8 constant Cons: Distortion A11 manual af nut. Opinion: Excellent lens coming from a Canon 10 18 STM no comparison. Sharp, even in the corners and fantastic barrel structure a tank. Only thing distorts to 11 is the Dial for AF manual not really comfortable. Lens that I recommend absolutely even six I personally do not like the wide angle for the type of photos I do however when you use it do appreciate landscapes, in the city, even with the indoor flash Christmas tavolate etc. being a fixed 2.8 on the whole focal. |
 | sent on March 11, 2018 Pros: F 2.8 constant, sharpness even at TA, general quality, lightness and size, compatible thread filters Cons: Spin annoying, and if you can define against, the switch from af to mf inconvenient Opinion: I use this lens since last October, I got new on the internet at € 400 (offertona !!) I must say that amazed me, the quality of the images it offers are spectacular. I took him to Rome with me thinking of keeping it as a second lens for the museums, mounted just arrived I did not change it anymore. The possibility of reaching 20mm allows to exploit it in many fields, from inside to outside. It's a lot of flare, but it can be easily solved by slightly changing inclination. Excellent also the hood that does its job anyway. rnSecond me is the switch to the fire, because it does not allow microcorrections, but you can easily avoid using the SLR settings. Strangled, then combined with a semi-type my 7200 from the best of itself, pity only not be able to take advantage of full frame! |
 | sent on February 23, 2018 Pros: F 2.8 constant, fully usable at TA, sharpness, build quality, filter thread. Cons: Flare, mode of transition from AF to MF, only for APS Opinion: I've had it for a month and I use it for street and interior. I gave away the Canon 10-18 STM to take this Tokina. The yield is much higher, the sharpness is excellent from the maximum aperture. It is heavy but the build quality is very high, the ferrules run well and with the right friction. Effective and fast autofocus (on Canon 200D) both from viewfinder and Live View. The distortion is also contained at 11mm, if kept on the bubble is minimal and only for the closest subjects of the framing edge. The flare instead is always lurking. In practice it has no obvious defects in relation to the price. Although I personally do not mind the AF / MF switching mechanism is inconvenient, needless to hide it, but since all in all just get used to it and since it is not that you switch continuously from AF to MF there may be. Basically a wide-angle zoom that for an amateur photographer can be the ultimate optics. The lack of stabilization is not a defect either because it isknows before buying it either because the focal range is such that you can safely do without it. Too bad it's not even for FF but it would have cost much more. Basically promoted with a nice 9 out of 10 and highly recommended. |
 | sent on February 22, 2018 Pros: construction, materials, f2.8, sharpness, optical quality, Cons: flare Opinion: I mainly use this lens for landscapes on d7200 and I find it fantastic. We can see that it is well built, it feels solid, good materials (even if it is not tropicalized) so much so that you make very good shots. Sharpness top, aperture f 2.8 make this Tokina a good travel companion even for those who want to try their hand at the starry sky. I mm are a point of advantage since it covers focal lengths of 20-20, moreover you can mount filters, another point in favor. rnUnica flaw is the Flare against the light, a step forward compared to his little brother 11-16, but I think still improve a thread. For the rest I recommend it, a valid wide angle Top quality / price ratio. Vote 9 |
 | sent on January 26, 2018 Pros: construction Cons: autofocus Opinion: Taken and returned after a few days of testing. On my Nikon D5100 had great difficulty with autofocus, both inside and outside struggled to hook the fire and when he succeeded he suffered from back focus; perfect instead if used with liveview ... but it was not what I needed. Unusable for me! Too bad because I thought I had taken a wide angle of value |
 | sent on November 11, 2017 Pros: low cost, constructive quality, sharpness, flares resistance, ease of use, very small distortion, F2.8 !! Cons: imprecise autofocus in low light conditions. Fire ring somewhat soft sometimes. Opinion: I make a good premise: I do not consider the "barrel" mechanism of the AF transition in mf as a defect, as it is an intrinsic feature of the lens, take your hand and using just index and thumb works perfectly. The lens is very resistant to light bulbs and parasitic lights, very bright (it has made me really comfortable), robustness and ease of use. Sometimes you have to overdo it with purpose to get distortions. Colors and sharpness are simply unique to its APS-C competitors. I tried the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f / 3.5-4.5 USM (more expensive, darker and with a lot of detail loss to the edges) and the Sigma 12-24mm f / 4.5-5.6 II DG HSM (I was disappointed right away colors and excessive distortion). Also comfortable 82-screw filters. The only painful note was the focus which was unreliable, but I did use the lens mainly in the dark or in low light conditions (the problem è easily corrected by focusing manually with live view and zooming). At that price you beat 10 to 1 all competitors. I highly recommended it only by passing to FF. |
  | sent on July 10, 2017 Pros: Fixed focal on the whole excursion, very sharp and definite, excellent construction. Cons: Only the AF-MF switching, in pure Tokina style Opinion: Great lens, very sharp, very good definition and well built. Sure, if instead of that strange mechanism of switching AF-MF (nothing complicated, just take a little ' hand) they had put a simple switch button, it would have been perfect. It weighs the right. You get excellent results without too much pp. The filters for this lens are 82mm and, the good ones, are costosetti. I have not seen problems related to flare. To have in your outfit. Loved. |
 | sent on September 21, 2016 Pros: Opening for the range of focal lengths, can be mounted screw filters, materials, cost Cons: The "tokina" style change between Autofocus and Manual focus, distortion (easily correctable in post), impossible to override the automatic maf, purple fringing Opinion: 1! |
 | sent on September 11, 2016 Pros: Fantastic a beautiful sharpness already in f.2.8 Cons: Nobody Opinion: He went from canon to canon 10-18 stm 10-22 usm for the poor sharpness of the first then 10-22 the changed because it was too soft in the sides through to this tokina that f2.8 is already well clear at the edges ... .that say is worth all the money spent ... A beautiful purchase the I coupled to the sigma 18-35 f1.8 art ... rnAdesso can take full 24 mega pixels of my cano eos 80d .... |
 | sent on March 23, 2016 Pros: Price, quality feel, practical input button af-mf, good definition even at f / 2.8 (remember that is a wide-angle) Cons: heavy weight, maybe I would have preferred a still a longer focal length hair maybe 11-24 for use in enclosed areas without having to change the optical power to a close-up. Opinion: Rehearsed go against the views of another user, the focus for me or is manual or automatic, correct what the camera alone does with the adjusted commissioning programs focus means you have not set correctly, and then we do manually just tell you, the key is beautiful original and has the solid look. Some distortion is known only to short distances attempting a close-up but nothing sensational. At f2.8 is fine and is light, let us remember that it is a wide and far-field portion makes note the differences in light between the edges and the center indoors but either closes a thread or corrects PP. outdoor certain differences are not noticed. To say that the zoom range is not very wide but I also would be useful to a few millimeters in more not less being a wide angle is not a fisheye. I happened to use it at a birthday party, good group photos but the recovery of course celebrated too distorted. For the rest of an object and tastyheavy to carry with you. |
 | sent on March 10, 2016 Pros: Clarity, openness, agility and ability to mount filters, cost, quality construction, very low distortion and aberrations Cons: Light flare with strong side light, lack of housing Opinion: Lens bought about a month ago to about 500 €. I was torn between this, Sigma 8-16 and 10-24 nikon but I opted for this given the possibility of mounting the filters, the aperture to 2.8 and a good focal range, all this at a price equal to the sigma and lower to Nikon. Build quality is excellent (although I fall on the rocks did not report any corruption if not a few scratches to the lens hood), as well as control of the distortions and aberrations. The sharpness remains constant with peaks between f / 4 and f / 8 with drop in quality from f / 11. The ability to mount the screw filters is definitely a strong point even if the diameter of 82mm it raises the cost and decreases the availability. As it regards the flare is present only with strong side light but nothing particularly evident or disturbing. The focal range is good and allows for excellent coverage in most situations although 2mm probably would have been useful. absolutely recommended lens unless you do not necessity of very small focal lengths (for this aspect can not compete with the course sigma). rating 9.5 |
 | sent on February 01, 2016 Pros: Exceptional sharpness, very good even at f / 2.8, suffering little of the coma, little chromatic aberration, bright f / 2.8 constant, solidly built, included in the sales package the lens hood and a hoya 82mm filter neutral protection. Cons: Lack of a switch to AF / MF, the focus ring is sometimes not fits well ('ll explain below), lack of full time MF, big and cumbersome, suffers a bit of flare. AF a bit 'noisy, bulky and expensive mounts 82mm filters. Opinion: The goal is great apart from AF to MF pass system (attention no autofocus, which works fine). If you focus at a distance automatically and then you want to manually correct the focus must switch to manual to fix it up. But to switch to manual you have to move in June the focus ring doing well fit the internal gears. These gears are sometimes not well aligned and moving it slightly messes up the fire took first, thwarting the work. Being a wide-angle is not a great defect given the still extended pdc but the method chosen by Tokina is not the best. The problem referred to is not always done, just sometimes, but when it fits well there are no problems. Doing astrophotography use the af aimed at a star with live view to focus on and then off, the passing system is really hurt. Cancels all the lavoro.rnPer the rest is the exceptional optics. Sharpness at the top already at f / 4, however, very good at f / 2.8. Few optical aberrations, suffers alittle 'flare but personally I can stand them, and sometimes I do indeed anche.rnE' quite bulky and heavy. The building is a bit 'plasticky but is solid. The autofocus does a little 'noise but nothing annoying, if you make video you could hear the rumore.rnCome zoom range I would have preferred one or two millimeters less than its predecessor rather than 4 extra. The ring of the Focal has the right hardness and wheel well 11 to 20. Also I own the Sigma 8-16 and I had the canon 10-18 .stm and both prefer questo.rnConsigliatissimo. |
 | sent on January 30, 2016 Pros: obviously very bright, good zoom range and smooth, ideal for wide-ranging views and interior. I also tried backlit taking the sun with snowy landscape with great results. Cons: perhaps the outer lens with a diameter of 82mm, but with an f / 2.8 is acceptable Opinion: I have bought in late November for a Nikon D3000 and almost all the images have been more than satisfactory, obviously the focal most extreme distortion is easy to send in if the camera is not aligned perfectly but this is typical of the end grandangolirnper missing stabilizer but honestly I have not missed |
 | sent on January 07, 2016 Pros: Construction, f2.8, lens hood included Cons: Perhaps only the millimeter less than the 10-20 canon? For me nobody (WARNING: apart from the handyman 18-135 canon, have not tried other wide angles) Opinion: Just received at Christmas (2015) !!! rnAvendo the 50ino F1.4 and everything to do 18-135, longed a wide angle. I focused mainly on tokina for greater openness and Santa Claus was very efficient (plaudits to wife) .rnChe say ... I have not yet had the opportunity to do many shots, but testing it in two brief and fleeting hiking in the mountains, I can assure you that It behaved very well indeed! Beautiful colors and excellent sharpness! Unfortunately I can not make comparisons than the predecessor 11-16 (of which the reviews are talking about poor resistance to flare), but to help, I can relate it to the aforementioned 18-135 is-stm canon. Trying backlit direct and different angles, I have not noticed big differences, so for me, test passed with flying colors! RnHo tried to make some shots indoors, and undoubtedly the opening 2.8 assists and guarantees results in my opinion the most pleasant 3.6 (always compared with the 18-135). I look forward to try to do some night photos serious, or look forward to the spring! Rn |
