Best Buy:Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens For Nikon
Product Description
The Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens provides an ultra-wide angle and a fast aperture for better photography in low-light situations. Many photojournalists consider having an f/2.8 aperture a must for any lens in their camera bag.
Based on the outstanding optical design of the AT-X 124 PRO DX (12-24mm f/4) lens, the AT-X 116 PRO DX has a slightly shorter zoom range to maintain optical quality at wide apertures.

| 166 of 166 people found the following review helpful  A better solution than the Nikon 10-24., By AWBoater (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens For Nikon (Accessory) I actually bought this lens from Amazon as a kit, which included a 77mm low profile UV filter and camera cleaning kit. But since all of the reviews for this lens are here, I am posting my review here as well.I was in the market for a super-wide angle DX lens, and I had originally considered a Nikon 10-24. Then I ran across this lens in several reviews that suggested the Tokina might be a great alternative. I own several Nikon lenses, and this is the first time I did not buy a Nikon lens. I am really glad I bought the Tokina 11-16 lens. My first consideration was the focal length. The reason I am purchasing the lens is for a super-wide angle, so the 10mm of the Nikon vs. the 11mm of the Tokina was the most important concern. Published specifications indicate a 109 Deg Field-of-View for the Nikon, and 104 Deg for the Tokina. Doing a bit of math suggests a 4% wider image for the Nikon. But what does that really mean?

It's got great optical quality, and with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 it's faster than competing wide-angle lenses.The only cautionary note I would add is that although the Tokina lens itself is built like a tank, Tokina lens caps seem to be less sturdy. At least, that's the conclusion I reached after the lens cap on my Tokina broke after my camera dropped a few inches onto a tatami mat in Japan. In looking at the broken cap, I wasn't too impressed by its construction with its tiny fragile looking, broken plastic clips. I now have a Nikon lens cap on the lens. If you get this lens, I suggest protecting your investment by buying a Nikon 77mm lens cap for it and ditching the one that comes with the camera. 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful Very good performance, This review is from: Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens For Nikon (Accessory) I have had this lens for about 6 month. It is an excellent lens. Construction is Nikon pro quality. It produces very good results with DX body at all apertures, of course a bit better stepped down. Edge performance is significantly better than 12-24 both Nikon and Tokina. It can also be used on a full frame cameras. I used it on D700. At 16mm it has insignificant levels of falloff in the corners, 15 is still usable. |
