Tokina | Digital Eyes - Visionary technology makes a difference you can see

 

[Junior87]

they are all quite different, what types of photos are you looking to take?

 

[Norman Chan]

For landscape photos....but read through a lot of reviews about all these lens....all not very good review....or just buy a fix width angle lens will be better than a zoom width angle.

Can consider Tokina ATX 11-16mm F2.8 or the 12-28mm F4 if you need slightly more zoom.

2nd on Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

Had it previously when on DX. Still had used it at 16mm on FX with significant fall off but never failed to produce the wow factor with necessary post processing, pretty well built lens

Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 PRO DX-II Lens and Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 PRO DX Lens , any major differences ?

Which camera do you use.. if you have decided on 3P lenses, then I agree with others on the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8.. there is a new Pro version but the older one works just fine.

Tokina is the sheeze

Using Nikon...

 

[Poryongming]

Nikon 16-35mmf4

I've got a Nikon 16-35mmf4 lens. This is for FF cameras-with DX the crop factor takes away some of the wide angle ability; becomes like 24-50 lens. It's pretty clear, but a lot of barrel distortion at the wide end-can be corrected with photoshop.

Seeking some opinion here. I own a D7000, going for my honeymoon trip in europe. Can recommend a lens that will be good for taking photos of the scenery? Thank you!


*note: i drop my kit lens when i was in tw. So i only have a 50-200mm lens now.

You can either go for the 18-200mm VR (if price is not a issue) and sell away the 50-200mm or get a 18-55mm (if price is a issue).

Or you can consider 3rd party make like tokina or tamron (28-75mm or 28-300mm).

You can use the tokina 11-16 f2.8 with cpl filter for landscape, the filter will help if you are shooting from vehicle to minimize reflection. And a PnS for other, troublesome to change lens on the run.

Else you can get the nikkor 18-200 v2 cos v1 most of the lens will tense to slip by itself. This an known issue for v1 but for v2 nikon add a stop knob to prevent the slip.

I have been using Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens for my 550d DSLR. I find that the photos captured have more vivid colors that my other normal lenses. Its easy to use and very versatile but durable. Focus is a little slow, but not frustrating.

It's lens creep. It's there for super extended lenses, regardless v1, v2 for the 18-200.
