11/25/2023 0 Comments Tokina 11 16 canon full frame![]() I really need to e-Bay the Tokina, but I am too busy to list it. I carry a D300 with the Nikkor 12-24/4 for back up. This lens is better than the Nikkor 12-24 and the Tokina 11-16 in every way. Since last fall I do PFRE using a D700 with a Nikkor 17-35/2.8. Without LR 3, the Tokina is a better lens than the Nikkor. Even so, I switched to the Nikkor again because the LR3 lens profile significantly streamlined my work flow. The Tokina's corners are a bit crisper though. The Nikkor's high-order distortions and CA issues are handled well in LR 3. I do not know of a Tokina profile for LR 3. The useful 11-16mm focal length is chosen in order to position this. It is the only f/2.8 fast ultra wide angle zoom lens for APS-C sized DSLR cameras in the current market (according to internal survey September, 2019). When LR 3 came out, there was a great Adobe profile for the Nikkor. The Tokina atx-i 11-16mm F2.8 CF is designed as an ultra wide angle zoom lens for APS-C sensor DLSR cameras. Flare properties are different in these two lenses, but one is not better than the other. Contrast and color rendition is quite similar. I noticed no AF differences when using the finder. The Live View AF works better with the Nikkor than the Tokina. The hood attachment system is better than the Nikkor's. ![]() The Tokina tolerates overexposure better (less purple fringing). The same is true for lateral CA, especially at the edges of the frame. Most of the Tokina barrel distortion is first order while the Nikkor requires higher order corrections. The Tokina's corners are much better than the Nikkor's. I switched to the Tokina because PTLens and LR 2 gave better and faster results in post. I used the 12-24/4 Nikkor and then the 11-16/2.8 Tokina with a D300. Not sure if I've explained that well, but big advantage for post if you're trying to get even looking shots for the whole set. windows in/out of frame, unless you're using flash-ev lock but then you're tied to the aperture shifting if you change focal lengths). If you're using any remote flashes and have them set up already (say in manual mode), and you decide to shoot a few different crops at different focal lengths, you don't have to worry about having to adjust your aperture as your focal length changes to arrive at the appropriate exposure (even with ttl-flash can change, especially as your view changes potentially fooling the camera's meter e.g. The other great thing no one seems to have mentioned is they have constant apertures across the zoom range (f4 for the 12-24 and the nice f2.8 for the 11-16), which is highly underrated (or barely mentioned) by most reviews. By predictable, I mean sharpness over the entire frame as well as the distortion and flare resistance, others I've tried (Sigma/Tamron/Canon/Nikon wides). ![]() The Tokina 12-24 as well as the 11-16 are sharp, contrasty, and well built, but also very predictable lenses (as some of the other comments have alluded to) compared to the others. ![]()
