Tokina ATX-I 11-16mm Plus f2.8 CF Canon EF

The Tokina atx-i 11-16mm F2.8 CF is the only f/2.8 fast ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens for APS-C format DSLR cameras on the current market. A

constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the Zoomrange is realized to achieve great results in low-light environments, for depth of field and easy manual shooting, while maintaining a reasonable lens size and weight

.

Optical performance

To achieve exceptional optical performance required for ultra-wide-angle Zoom lenses in still and video photography, two aspherical glass elements and two ultra-low dispersion glass elements have been used to minimize distortion, sphericalric aberration and astigmatism, while achieving excellent edge-to-edge resolution and contrast of the entire image. Great efforts have been made to control light fall-off at all focal lengths, and

the anti-reflective multi-layer coating improves light transmission and minimizes reflections, while the water-repellent coating makes it easy to wipe and clean the surface of the front glass element

.

Built Quality & Exterior Design

True to tradition, Tokina has incorporated many metal parts into the lens to ensure reassuring build quality and long-lasting use under a variety of shooting conditions, while the

thoughtful exterior design has been specifically tailored to match the design of contemporary DSLR cameras

.

Mechanics & Electronics

Precise attention has also been paid to Zoom and focus ring rotation, which has a comfortable amount of no play and is just damped enough.The

Tokina atx-i 11-16mm F2.8 CF for Nikon F bayonet features an internal quiet focusing motor combined with a precise GMR sensor to allow the lens to be AF switched on Nikon bodies that do not have an AF drive gear and motor.

The highly regarded one-touch focus clutch mechanism makes it easy to switch between autofocus and manual focus, and the

overall length of the Tokina atx-i 11-16mm F2.8 CF does not change when focusing and Zooming thanks to internal type of focus construction
