Opinion:Owned for over 15 years, Nikon mount, it should be used for architecture and landscape photos. And a lens for the DX format (therefore equivalent to an 18-35). Excellent color rendering and contrast, good flare performance, it is among the sharpest of third-party lenses and is indestructible, exceptional build quality. It also works on FX format from 18mm onwards (Sigmas are unusable). I kept it for years on the D80 and didn't use anything else.... It's a bit heavy for the overall size (the front lens is 77mm and there are 13 internal elements in 11 groups). Today it can be found at ridiculous prices in second-hand ... and it is not so easy to find (because those who have it keep it). The first version of the DXII version is better... the AF works very well but only on D80, D90, D300 and not on series that do not have AF in the camera. It renders well even without polarizer or plate ND filters, but if you mount them it is better, on 12mm the wide focal length can have management problems for flare and light-shadow contrasts.... If managed well (18mm effective are not few....) it gives excellent results.
Pros:Focal range, price, construction, performance, sharpness from 12 to 18mm
Cons:Flare, sharpness after 18mm, mf/af pump
Opinion:In 2021 he still has a lot to say in my opinion, paid 120 euros equal to the new and used on D500. Sharp closing it a few stops, really interesting focal range, fast SLR af, Granite construction of Tokina. If I had to give a vote I would give 8.5 out of 10 taking into account the fact that it is a dated lens and that it will never return images equal to a Sigma art or similar, but it refers to the really affordable price for those like me who use it only on the go. It suffers from Flare quite heavily, has the af mf system of tokina a little uncomfortable, and after 18mm it becomes less sharp, but wide-angle side is great.
Pros:Construction, travel, value for money, screw 77mm filters
Cons:A little dark, color rendering without polarizing, of flares problems punctual lights in night shots. WARNING HAS NO ENGINE INTERNAL AF
Opinion:This my review after several months of use out of this wide angle out of production since 2004, but that gave me so much satisfaction. It 'was my second wide angle after sammy 14. Japanese construction, metal housing and excellent materials speak volumes about the quality of optics. For me the 12 mm minimum focal range is more than enough, and there are few wide-angle lenses that go over. But what makes it "almost" a handyman to the street is the fact that covers up to 24 mm, an angle which I prefer to that given by 35 mm. Use of this wide angle with noisy but precise and quick autofocus allows you to be very creative and get special perspective effects and without excessive distortion. rnTra defects the weight that could be particularly evident on entry level machines. I did not notice the flares problems, only when using low light bright point sources are presented stellate. Some chromatic aberration exists and is not easy to find a correction profile for lightrI oom I found one quite effective. With the use of a polarizing filter improves the color rendering but since the minimum focal length is a slight vignetting in the upper-right, resolvable in part in PP.rnLa maximum sharpness is obtained from f / 8 to f / 11 but already 5.6 after the results are more than accettabili.rnCon the "excuse" that the goal is dated you can find in the used market this wide angle you will pay a little but will give you much satisfaction. Beware that has no internal AF motor and thus can be used only in the manual on the entry level, on a wide angle is not a drama ovviamentrn
Pros:building good, interesting focal range, color rendering
Cons:Weight, flare, dark, AF-MF mechanism is not practical
Opinion:I state that my Tokina has a flaw (I bought on Ebay paying € 100): as sometimes shooting at 12mm aperture and long times by mistake, but it is widely passable as inconveniente.rnPer the rest is pretty powerful colors piacevoli.rnDal realistic and constructive point of view has a quality and solidity fab but this involves greater weight. No stabilizer but no use for these focali.rnL'AF is quiet and fast. Suffer flare.
Pros:Construction, excursion, chromatic yield, price on the used
Cons:Weight, flare, blurry over 20mm, edges
Opinion:It was one of the best lenses had, both as optical rendering (used up to 18mm almost always in TA, distortion fairly contained, colors and sharpness, T-stop Actual) that build quality, sold a little reluctantly; Only flaws I can mention is the resistance to flare backlight, softness at the edges and decay over 18mm; However it costs used recommended on this size.
