The new Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX is an ultra-wide angle lens with a fast f/2.8 aperture for better photography in low-light situations. Many photojournalists consider having an f/2.8 aperture a must for any lens in their camera bag. Based on the award-winning optical design of the AT-X 124 PRO DX 12-24mm f/4 lens the new AT-X 116 PRO DX has a slightly shorter zoom range to maintain optical quality at wide apertures. Tokinas exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus manually. There is no need to change the AF-MF switch on Nikon cameras** and there is no second AF/MF switch on the lens for Canon everything is accomplished by the focus ring. Please Note The lens is designed for Digital cameras with APS-C sized CMOS and CCD sensors not designed for cameras with Full Frame sensors.
Customer Reviews
Everything I expected
This lens yields excellent exceptionally sharp results. I knew from reviews that the auto-focus would be a bit slower than on more expensive Canon lenses but thats really not a big problem for me. The constant f/2.8 aperture is a big plus particularly for interior shots I almost never use flash. In short the lens meets all my expectations.
Watch out for shoddy quality
I eagerly bought one of these lenses earlier this summer Nikon mount. It arrived in seemingly good condition and the first shots from it looked ok. However less than 24 hours later it became virtually unusable due to its inability to autofocus. Manual focusing produced fair-to-marginal results so I think something inside the lens shifted out of position. The lens was not mishandled in any way. I may try another one at some point but in the meantime I bought the Nikkor 12-24. Yes its nearly twice as expensive but it works.
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ATX Pro DX
On returning from Italy and evaluating my images 1200 I find this lens to be a real keeper. Photozone.de was my deciding source to purchase this lens where their review and tests indicate this is the sharpest lens in its class. CAs as mentioned there were an issue in a couple of high contrast images and easily corrected in Photoshop. Field curvature is noticable especially in the St Peters interior image above and can be minimized with camera position and focal length settings. Unfortunately I did not have a tripod and a point and shoot technique ruled. The 16mm longest fl will take some getting used to and does not provide much range. I carried a Canon 28-135mm IS for the longer shots. The f/2.8 at all fl was nice for the darker interiors of buildings on my Canon 30D. Lens construction seems solid without any focusing issues. New to wide lenses flare caught me a couple of times Ill remember to watch for it more often I know its common with these wide lenses. I have posted two customer images above of a bath house in Pompeii and St Peters in Rome.
