In fact, there are no similar analogues to a wide-angle lens with a constant aperture value of f / 2.8 from the Japanese company Tokina. With a stretch, only the much more expensive Tokina AT-X 14-20mm f / 2.0 PRO DX lens can be listed as such, which, although it is faster, but at the same time cannot provide such a wide viewing angle at the short end.
Viewing angles
The DX symbols in the lens marking indicate its compatibility with APS-C format cameras — it is suitable for use in tandem with Nikon, Canon and Sony cropped DSLRs. The zoom ratio of the lens is very small — its angle of view ranges from 104 ° at the short end to 82 ° at the maximum approximation. Nevertheless, these figures allow you to shoot familiar scenes from unusual angles, capturing as much of the surrounding space as possible in the frame. To the greatest extent, the possibilities of zoom are revealed when shooting interiors and architecture.
Picture
At a focal length of 11 mm, characteristic barrel-shaped distortions, which are a feature of the design of almost all wide-angle lenses, attract attention. You can deal with them in a photo editor, but in most cases, perspective distortions do not greatly spoil the picture with their presence and require only minimal intervention in editing it. A separate line pleases the sharpness of the lens in the entire small range of its focal lengths and the constant f / 2.8 aperture at all zoom values.
In one move
Tokina's signature design feature is the practical One-touchFocus Clutch focus mode switching mechanism: to switch to manual focus mode, just pull the focus ring towards you, and if you want to return to auto mode, you need to move it forward. The drive of the autofocus system catches the subject quickly and with high accuracy, but its operation is accompanied by noise, which limits the use of the lens in video shooting.
Nice bonuses
A couple of nice bonuses for the owners of the model will be a 9-blade aperture, with which it is possible to get a beautiful round bokeh in the blur zone, and a complete plastic hood.
