Tokina ATX-I 11-20mm Plus f2.8 CF Nikon

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF (CF stands for Cropped Frame) is designed as an ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens for DLSR cameras with APS-C sensor. It is a fast ultra-wide-angle Zoom

lens

with

f/2

.8 for DSLR cameras with APS-C sensor.

The focal length of 11-20mm, covering the same angle as the wide-angle 18mm, 21mm, 24mm and 28mm lenses, makes this lens an attractive substitute for a standard Zoom lens or an initial wide-angle Zoom kit

lens.

A constant maximum aperture of f2.8 throughout the Zoom range is realized to produce great low-light results, for depth-of-field control and easy manual shooting, while maintaining a reasonable size and weight

.

Optical performance

To achieve exceptional optical performance required for an ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens, 3 aspherical glass elements and 3 extra-low dispersion glass elements have been used to minimize distortion, prevent spherical aberration and astigmatism, while providing excellent edge-to-edge resolution and high contrast across the entire image

.

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

.

Build quality and exterior design

Tokina has stayed true to its tradition by incorporating many metal parts into the lens to ensure reliable build quality and long service life under a variety of shooting conditions

, while the

sophisticated exterior design has been specially developed to match the design of modern DSLR cameras

.

Mechanics & Electronics

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF for Nikon F-mount features an internal silent-drive focusing motor (SD-M) combined with a precise GMR sensor, giving the lens accurate and fast autofocus.

The one-touch focus coupling mechanism allows for easy switching between autofocus and manual focus, and the

overall length of the Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF does not change when focusing and Zooming, as the focus is inside the lens. The Zoom mechanism inside the body allows the use of C-PL filters

.

For still photography

The extremely wide focal length of 11-20mm and constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 make this lens an indispensable tool for the following areas of photography: landscape, group photos and environmental portraits, architecture (especially interiors), car photography, weddings, street photography, and night vision

photography.

For video content production

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF is designed for videographers and filmmakers who shoot both stills and video professionally. It offers the following advantages for these types of users.

• Wide-angle enough to feel confident even in small places
• Minimal focus breathing - the image area does not change much when the focus is adjusted from near to far
• Naturliche shots - the image is not distorted when panning because the distortion is very low
• Constant aperture to use the full Zoom range while filming
• Excellent optical performance

CAUTION: The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF lens is designed for compatibility with DSLR cameras (APS-C format). When used with cinema cameras such as BlackMagic, it is recommended to use the lens in manual focus mode

.

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF is perfect for use with a gimbal

• Ideal wide-angle fit to cinematic standards.
• Lightweight
• Zoomfeatures that allow the user to shoot at different angles with the same lens
• Since the overall length does not change thanks to internal focusing, the Tokina gimbal does not
need to be attached.

Since the overall length does

• not change thanks to internal focusing, the gimbal does not need to be calibrated every time the angle of view is changed
• Great color reproduction
• and
• resolution features
• Affordable price and high quality compared to really expensive cinema lenses
