Dear All,
Just got my hands on the new Tokina 16-28 F2.8 FX PRO lens (for FF camera supposely). Below is my personal experience (personal opinion only) with the lens. Please note that the review may not be indicative of the performance of the lens as i'm a noob still learning to use my camera correctly
So here goes:
First Touch:
1. Lens is heavy (950g)
2. Built is solid
3. Zoom ring is heavy but smooth (could be due to the 15 groups of glass inside)
4. Finishing is good
5. No Filter Thread but come with Fixed Lens hood
6. Lens cap cannot make it. (just a ribbed rubber cap that is very loose so likely after some use, it will drop out by itself) - no known price on the replacement part yet.
[Photos of the Lens coming Soon]
Test Shoot in the shop
1. Image is sharp
2. No vignett at all focal length
3. Color is rich and nice
4. Focus is fast and quiet
Test Shoot at Marina Bay
Shooting condition :
1. Strong Wind
2. Overcast sky
3. Light rain
4. Spotlight testing going on in preparation for New Year Eve Celebration
5. Camera on light tripod, remote shuttle release and Mirror lockup
