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

Tokina is the smallest of the 3 big third-party manufacturers (Tokina, Tamron, Sigma). They offer a couple of fairly unexciting products but they're playing among the very best in one specific segment - ultra-wide angle lenses.

Gary Wolstenholme reviews the Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 PRO, an ultra-wide angle zoom lens that has a fast f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range.

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.

Purchased lens in August of 2017. Used a couple of times without issue then back in bag. Recently needed to for work shoot and my Canon 6D MK II.

This is a great little addition to anyone's kit. I have to going between the Nikons 14-24 and this 16-28 for quite some time now and the number one reason I opted the Tokina was the value. Depending on your style of shooting and what you photographdepends on your lens selection.

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

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...
