Wide-aperture, wideangle zoom lens great for full-frame coverage

Solid all-round performance at a competitive price-point

No manual-focus adjustment whilst in AF mode

Much bigger than most lenses, and at more than twice the weight of some, the Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 PRO FX is a chunky lens. That's because while other lenses are designed solely for use on cameras with APS-C or Four Thirds sensors, the Tokina is fully compatible with full-frame cameras.

Compatible with full-frame cameras; Autofocus using Tokina's new 'silent' DC motor is fast; quiet and accurate

No image stabilisation; No filter thread

The Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro FX Lens is an affordable, ultra wide angle lens with an also-ultra wide f/2.8 aperture available over the entire focal length range. That this lens is full-frame-compatible adds greatly to its desirability.

Not for: Won't work on manual-focus cameras. Can't use filters, so mostly useless on film. It's foolish to use this on a DX or 1.6x Canon camera; for them, the Tokina 11-16mm , or even a kit lens , is a much smarter idea.

The Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 Pro FX is an impressive ultra-wide angle lens for Canon and Nikon full-frame DSLRs like the 5D Mark II and D3s. Weghing nearly a kilo and costing over ￡1,000, it is undoubtedly a large and expensive optic, but it does deliver excellent distortion-free images at virtually...

This is a great lens for photographing indoors. I purchased mine for $549 at B&H photo with free shipping. I'm totally satisfied with this lens and I'm glad I found it cheaper.
