ehh i think you will see a circle on your pic == to super bad vignetting unless you zoom in enuff. the lens is not made to project an image large enough to cover the FF sensor.

And no it won't become a fisheye. Fisheyes are "intentionally" distorted.

Yes, IIRC someone posted a photo before, at Sigma / Tamron / Tokina sub forum, you will see your subject surround by a dark circle.
Yes agreed.
OT a bit to congrats calebk being promoted to become Senior member.
Lol nothing to congratulate me about lah.
Not sure about this. I compared the lenses at f/8 since these are landscape lenses for me. Difference is not so pronounced here. But field curvature issues can sometimes show up on the 10-22 depending on the scene. However, that 1.6 mm difference is not quite acceptable to me. In addition, the 11-16 is far more susceptible to flaring than 10-22 which is the MOST flare resistant lens I have ever used.

100% agree :thumbsup: I can shoot straight into the sun with very minimal flare in my photo!

So is that means Tokina 11-16 very easy got flare in the photos? Do you have any picture to show, especially comparing this 2 lenses?
I have tried both the canon 10-22mm and Tokina 11-16 F2.8 for a month before deciding to keep the canon.
Tokina has a wonderful build quality (but heavier), sharper (splitting hairs), and has a lovely constant F2.8.
However its shorter zoom range means more lens changes (especially when traveling, after taking a landscape, ur friends wants you to take a shot of them - 16mm on 1.6x is still kinda wide and may distort people near the edges if you are not careful, and some may feel uncomfortable with a big lens so near their faces)
The tokina is definitely more susceptible to flare, Did some night shots at F2.8 and had a picture with a row of street lamps, every single lamp had a flare ghost (if thats what u call it) below it - admittedly I was torturing the lens with that picture. Tried the same shot with the canon wide open and its much cleaner. However, due to the 9 diaphragm blades of the tokina, you do get very nice 18 pointed sun stars when stopped down.
Ultimately, its the minimum focus distance that tipped me over to the canon. The tokina min focus distance is 30cm while the canon is 24cm. Since I like getting near my subjects, I do find myself hitting into the minimum focus limit of the tokina often.
Oh and 1mm at the wide end does make a visible difference.
My advice is, know your shooting style and see which lens properties fit you best.

hi recently anyone bought this lens at which price and shop please. I want to buy one . Can I able to get below 1k?
You try to email to Cathay Photo.
Canon 10-22mm cost $1037 only.
Tokina 11-16 cost $890.
If your budget limited, You should get Tamron 10-24mm cost S$780 , no choice for you.
You can actually get the Tokina 12-24 f/4 at around $750, if I'm not mistaken.
