Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
- Thread starter vengafever
- Start date
Been following the thread for awhile now.
Had to post something as i myself is also looking for a UWA lens.
Am a canon450d user. Was thinking of this Tokina 11-16 for awhile.
I did a equote with MS color and the price they gave me was $950 (incl gst & 2years agent warranty).
What does agent warranty mean -.-?
Also another consideration i got for this is that the lens is only for crop bodies. Was thinking of getting 1 UWA lens for both crop and FF so in the event that i wishes to upgrade my body, i do not have to let go of my lens. Any suggestion?
And another thing is the limitation posted by the short zoom. 11-16 is only 5x1.6 = 8mm of zoom. Kinda short to me.
If i were to get a UWA for crop body.. Actually i think the Sigma 12-24 or Canon 10-22 would fit the bill well...
Haiz... Troublesome man!

For this T11-16, you can get it cheaper elsewhere..
I went for a hunt last 2 weeks.. I forgot where but I have the list somewhere.
It may be at Parisilk. I'll double check on that and get back to you if you're interested.
I bought mine at John's cos it's one of the cheapest and most convenient place at that time for CC payments.

Any recommendation for a filter (Protection - Ex UV) for this lens ( Tokina 11-16mm ) ? Thanks.

Hey bro..
Sorry, I think I lost the list..
Mine's Nikon mount and this is what I remembered..
I paid mine for $969 @ John's using CC.
Parisilk was $930+ cash and 980+ for CC.
Cathay was > $1k
It's just based on what I can remember.. You can just call them up to check to confirm.
Just remember that different shops have different CC rates and cash is cheaper.
Hi, I'm new to this forum. Just recently purchased my first DSLR Nikon D90 and I am looking for a UWA lens more for taking landscape photos during my travel.
Can anyone share their experience with this lens on a D90 body? What is with the AF? Can it AF on D90?
any major issues with the results of the photos using this lens?

I'm also thinking between this Tokina 11-16 and Sigma 10-20 for the past week,
guess the main advantage of Tokina 11-16 is the sharpness and f/2.8
Sigma 10-20 saw from reviews that its not as sharp as the T 11-16 but CA is very well controlled and wider by 1mm (which really makes the difference sometimes) and have more zoom range till 20mm but its not a fast lens (f/3.5 constant for the latest version)

if you happen to visit Hong Kong you can get one there at about HKD 4380. About S$760 based on current exchange rate.

May I know which shop you get it from? THanks
actually both are really good lenses.. and when i view photos taken by these 2 lenses, there aren't
really much of a difference unless i examine them at 100% crop.. but my mind somehow tells me to
get the tokina because of it sharpness throughout the focal length as well as the advantage in low light..
