Model overview based on user reviews  
The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 PRO AF AT-X DX lens is highly praised for its exceptional sharpness and detail, making it a top choice for architecture and landscape photography. Users appreciate its reliable construction and the constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, which ensures consistent performance. The lens is particularly well-suited for cropped sensor cameras, offering a wide viewing angle without noticeable perspective distortion when handled properly. While it lacks image stabilization and has a noisy autofocus, its unique One-touch Focus Clutch mechanism allows for easy switching between manual and auto focus. Some users note that the 77mm filter thread can make filters expensive, but overall, the lens is considered a best buy for its price, outperforming more expensive alternatives in its class.

for its price - the best glass in its class.

for cropped - best buy
The picture is pleasing, the design is exceptionally reliable. I used it with a Canon 5D (focal length without the circle 14-16 mm). Photo example http://pi-studio.gallery.ru/watch?ph=MiK-ccerR&subpanel=big
circle on full-frame up to 14 mm

There are, of course, more expensive analogues, but the cropped matrix is not worth them))

For architecture and landscapes - it’s the best. The full-matrix brand has settings that allow it to be shot as a 16mm wide. No vignette! Here is a photo for those who doubt it: http://vk.com/studioromm?z=photo96214074_281602540%2Falbum96214074_00%2Frev
Super sharpness, detail. Lack of perspective distortion in non-crooked hands.

Add Review

In fact, there are no similar analogues to a wide-angle lens with a constant aperture value of f / 2.8 from the Japanese company Tokina. With a stretch, only the much more expensive Tokina AT-X 14-20mm f / 2.0 PRO DX lens can be listed as such, which, although it is faster, but at the same time cannot provide such a wide viewing angle at the short end.

Viewing angles

The DX symbols in the lens marking indicate its compatibility with APS-C format cameras — it is suitable for use in tandem with Nikon, Canon and Sony cropped DSLRs. The zoom ratio of the lens is very small — its angle of view ranges from 104 ° at the short end to 82 ° at the maximum approximation. Nevertheless, these figures allow you to shoot familiar scenes from unusual angles, capturing as much of the surrounding space as possible in the frame. To the greatest extent, the possibilities of zoom are revealed when shooting interiors and architecture.

Picture

At a focal length of 11 mm, characteristic barrel-shaped distortions, which are a feature of the design of almost all wide-angle lenses, attract attention. You can deal with them in a photo editor, but in most cases, perspective distortions do not greatly spoil the picture with their presence and require only minimal intervention in editing it. A separate line pleases the sharpness of the lens in the entire small range of its focal lengths and the constant f / 2.8 aperture at all zoom values.

In one move

Tokina's signature design feature is the practical One-touchFocus Clutch focus mode switching mechanism: to switch to manual focus mode, just pull the focus ring towards you, and if you want to return to auto mode, you need to move it forward. The drive of the autofocus system catches the subject quickly and with high accuracy, but its operation is accompanied by noise, which limits the use of the lens in video shooting.

Nice bonuses

A couple of nice bonuses for the owners of the model will be a 9-blade aperture, with which it is possible to get a beautiful round bokeh in the blur zone, and a complete plastic hood.
