Review on πŸ“· Tokina AF 10-17mm for 3.5-4.5 AT-X 107 DX Lens - Nikon Mount: Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon Cameras by Devarajah Selvarajah ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didnΒ³'t expect the quality to be this good.

The stated minimum focusing distance is 140 mm (from the sensor). In reality, the minimum distance from the front edge of the lens is about 4 cm. Wide-angle / fisheye macro is excellent. It is here that oh how autofocus is needed :) As for the picture: HA do not catch the eye (there is a little on the open periphery, but where without it?). Pretty sharp at F3.5 (actually). Colors: normal and dark areas are almost no different from Nikkorov's, but in overexposure there is a purple tint - in principle, it does not cause negative emotions, it just looks unusual after Nikon's glasses. Total: remarkable in terms of versatility, design and ergonomics, glass with excellent picture quality. Macro with AF as a bonus. If not for the lid, the hood could have been sawn off. Ps. I have D700 and D90. I will still leave the lens on the crop - it is "kindred" to it :)

Pros
  • Small and light with a solid Tokinovsky construct. Autofocus, variable FR. Separate respect: it can also be used on FF (it turns out a wonderful diagonal fisheye in the range of 15-17 mm).
Cons
  • The cast hood in the case is more of a bug than a feature. Apparently made only to attach a nice cover. If it weren’t for the lens hood, then on the FF it would be possible to use it with 10 mm as an almost complete circular one - it could be useful.
