The lens is quite a lot larger and heavier than my 30 year old Sigma EX 17-35mmD which it replaces. Not the same animal. The Sigma was an old friend, but after all these years contracted fungus so no linger viable. Anyway, it's my birthday! The Tokina completes my standard set of lenses on my Nikon D810, I use it for landscape, Architecture and portrait work. It is smooth, pin sharp and the AF/MF coupling a boon as I can now change without having to look for Nikon's fiddly lever on the left hand side of the camera. The super wide angle optical correction is really good and sharpness across the frame excellent. What else is there to say? Incredible value for money!
HenkInspired by the focal length and aperture of the widely acknowledged Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 PRO FX lens, Tokina opera 16-28mm F2.8 FF has been developed with the same concept as the recently released opera 50mm F1.4 FF, to offer the photographers another contemporary tool for professional photography. This optical design performs just optimal resolution at the aperture wide open that greatly increases by stepping down to f/4 and narrower. To make the lens suitable for landscape shooting and BW photography, engineers made maximum efforts to realize high level of contrast and rich color gradation in the image. The new Tokina opera 16-28mm F2.8 FF has been designed to provide the photographer comfort and confidence during the shooting. The lens comes in a sophisticated, gorgeous but yet simple and slim housing with well balanced zoom and focus ring arrangement. Like other opera lenses, 16-28mm F2.8 FF is designed to fit top class DSLR cameras and by no means meant to be light-weight and compact. It is the lens that, once hold in hand, makes the photographer realize himself involved into the shooting process and is suggested for those who are serious about photography. The directional rotation of the focus ring matches the direction of proprietary Nikon and Canon lenses.
