Review on Tokina 12 24Mm Autofocus Digital Cameras by Athit Methasate ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I bought a Sigma 10-20 before the tokina, but the lens turned out to be defective (the focus fell somewhere, if you didn’t interfere with your hands), I had to return it to the store. I took the token. Feelings are positive. I liked the lower distortion at the short end, subjectively - the current is even sharper throughout the frame than the sigma. The backlight holds quite and quite well. The only thing that is unpleasant is HA, but they are quickly eliminated in Photoshop. In general, if he were 2 thousand cheaper, then generally a wonderful width, although 20 thousand for him and for the fact that he draws is also tolerable. So overall I give it a 5.

Pros
  • Size constancy when focusing and changing focal lengths, the front lens does not rotate. Solidly assembled, no backlash, everything rotates smoothly. Minimal distortion at the short end, much less than the Sigma 10-20, sharp throughout the entire range of the FR and throughout the frame. Yes, the edges are blurred, but I don’t think there is a wide area where this is not.
Cons
  • HA. Compared with the same sigma 10-20 f / 4-5.6 - XA are large. But if you shoot in RAV, then they are treated with one movement of the slider in Photoshop. 77mm filters. uh. not exactly cheap. I think that 20 thousand is a bit too much for this lens. On thousand 2 it is cheaper and in general beauty.

Purchased due to lack of wide angle, as an addition to 24-105. Impressions are the best! I tested it with Canon 10-22, which obviously lost both in terms of design, quality, and packaging (a chic lens hood is included). Decent glass.

With its pros. Constructive, sharpness, price, distortion is minimal. Its cons: . If you are engaged in "catching fleas" - you can find . XA they climb out a little, where would they be without them .
