Review on Tokina 11 16Mm 2 8 Digital Lens by Shannon Smith

The effects this lens had on my photo were wonderful. Suddenly my photos took on a whole new dimension with a really shiny magazine/newspaper quality. It's a bit pricey, but if you can afford it, I highly recommend jumping on it. This is enough to achieve a wide-angle view, almost dissimilar to a wide-angle view (it doesn't look like a fish-eye effect), looks natural and right! An extremely wide-angle f/2.8 lens that works well in low light. The images captured with this lens are clear and of good quality. Tokina lenses are mainly used with Canon EOS cameras. The lens also has a smaller zoom range, which preserves the visual quality of images captured in large areas. The one-touch focus-hold mechanism gives photographers the ability to switch between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF) by moving the focus ring forward for autofocus and switching back to the camera for manual focus. Professional photographers agree that this is a workhorse in their camera bag. For a very affordable entry-level price, the budding photographer gets their hands on this reliable and extremely useful camera. It's also pocket-friendly compared to other lenses that cost over $1,000. The build quality of this Tokina lens is mostly metal rather than plastic, which ensures stability. It also has a lens hood, which is not found on popular lenses like the Canon lens. The body is also very solid considering it's an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. Customer service at Tokina is excellent. There are times when the sides of the lens don't match the camera. In this case, all you have to do is send the lens to Tokina and Tokina will repair the sides according to your camera's specifications. The 3-year lens guarantee is an absolute guarantee of quality. Buying a wide angle lens shouldn't be a problem as Tokina tops the list. Ideal for concerts, topographical shots from above and the night sky. For example, the flashing of the starry night sky from street lamps is simply breathtaking. Some issues with this lens include the fact that it only supports 1.6 crop sensor cameras and doesn't work with full frame cameras. Compared to other lenses, this lens has a shorter zoom range than other 10-22mm lenses. However, f/2.8 makes up for this disadvantage. Also, it is not possible to use the built-in lens that comes with the camera due to shadowing. The lens is also heavy, mainly due to the metal body, and so carrying it over long distances can be a hassle. Overall, many users and review sites agree that this is the best ultra wide angle lens out there.
