I actually shot Velvia in the F4 it works fine at 16mm. It worked perfectly, although you'll get black corners wider than 15mm. I also tried it on the F6, F100, F4, N75, N70 and N55. Focus is never critical with ultrawide lenses - the biggest problem is accidentally knocking it to the 1 foot setting and not noticing.
#Objektiv test manual
No problem with the D40, D40x and D60, pull the focus ring towards you to get manual focus, then turn the focus ring and look for the focus confirmation dot. (The more expensive AF-S Nikon 12-24mm works perfectly with these newest cheap cameras.) The only gotcha is that you must focus manually on the D40, D40x or D60, even though they still meter and expose perfectly. This Tokina 11-16mm is perfectly compatible with all the Nikon DSLRs on which I tried it (D70, D40, D200, D300 and D3), and probably all of them, period. The zoom range is very limited, not a problem for ultra-wide aficionados like me since I usually only shoot this at 11mm.Īutofocus back to performance back to top (90,000 Yen list price.)Ĭompared to 12-24mm Compared to 14-24mm to all 14mm 69,800 Yen (about $700 US) on the streets of Japan.

#Objektiv test pro
Tokina calls this the Tokina AT-X Pro SD 11-16mm f/2.8 (IF) DX.ĪT-X: Tokina's best lenses: "Advanced Technology - Extra." Shoot in the Nikon D3's 5:4 mode and you're good as wide as 13mm! It also works fine on my F4 film camera: I tried it on Fuji Velvia 50! Here's a secret: take off the filter and hood and and this Tokina 11-16mm works reasonably well as wide as 15mm, if you don't mind softer corners wide-open, on film and FX. None of these lenses is supposed to work on film, Nikon FX or Canon full-frame.

Feel free to read the other 95% of this review, however the details below only are interesting to 5% of my readers. This 11-16mm is superior, even to Nikon's own lens, and this Tokina is one of the least expensive. Having shot all these, there isn't any real competition for Nikon cameras. (Tamron announced work on a 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5, in January 2008, but it doesn't exist.) I compared all of the older lenses back in 2005 in my Digital Wide Zoom Comparison. If you haven't actually shot with these lenses, you'd think this Tokina competes with Nikon's 12-24mm f/4, Canon's 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5, Sigma's 10-20mm f/4-5.6, Tamron's 11-18mm f/4.5-5.6 and Tokina's own 12-24mm f/4. Its distortion is much easier to correct than the Nikkor's. Considering its bargain price of under $600, its the world's best ultrawide lens for digital SLRs. This Tokina 11-16mm is the world's fastest and sharpest ultrawide lens for small format digital cameras ( Nikon DX and Canon 1.6x). (For the D40, D40x or D60, you still need the Nikkor 12-24mm for autofocus, and for Canon, I'd get the excellent Canon 10-22mm.) If you want an ultrawide zoom for your Nikon DX DSLR, this is my top suggestion as of 2008. The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X is the best ultrawide zoom available for Nikon DX cameras, better than even Nikon's more expensive 12-24mm AF-S DX.
For about the same price, I'd get the II model instead so you'll never have to worry about camera compatibility. Same thing, with a built-in autofocus motor for cheaper Nikon DSLRs. May 2013 Tokina Nikon Canon Zeiss Fuji Sony LEICA All Reviews
