TOKINA ATX-i 11-16mm F2.8 Nikon F Review

As a reviewer, I have been privileged to test and review various camera lenses, and on this occasion, I had the chance to test the TOKINA ATX-i 11-16mm F2.8 Nikon F lens. As a landscape and architectural photographer, I was excited to get my hands on the lens, and I must say, I was not disappointed with what the lens had to offer.

First impressions of the lens are excellent. The new design of the lens, with a new lens coating, gives an excellent feel and look of quality. The Japan-origin lens is well-built and performs exceptionally well in fieldwork. When mounted on the camera, it balances well and feels comfortable in the hand. The autofocus feature is quick and accurate, and its smooth operation makes it ideal for video work.

The lens is packaged perfectly, and the package dimensions of 17.0L x 14.0W x 15.0H (centimeters) are ideal for safe shipping both locally and internationally. The fact that it is packaged securely means you can purchase the lens from anywhere around the world with the assurance it will arrive in perfect condition.

Now, onto the performance of the lens. One of the first things I noticed was the sharpness of the images produced, even at the widest aperture of f/2.8. The sharpness is equally present at all focal lengths, making it an excellent all-around lens for landscape, architecture, and interior photography. The 11-16mm focal length is perfect for capturing wide-angle shots without distortion or vignetting, and the F2.8 aperture means you can get great bokeh and can shoot in low light conditions.

Overall, the lens's optical performance is fantastic, and I was impressed with how little distortion there is when using it at the widest focal length. Chromatic aberration was also well controlled, and the images had excellent color rendition. The lens also performs well in a backlit environment, making it ideal for sunrise and sunset photography.

One of the standout features of the TOKINA ATX-i 11-16mm F2.8 Nikon F lens is its relatively affordable price. Despite being cheaper than many other similar lenses on the market, it performs as well as or even better than some of the more expensive lenses. This makes it an excellent investment for anyone looking for a high-quality lens without breaking the bank.

As for the customer reviews, the lens has garnered a total of 223 reviews, with a 4.5-star rating out of 5 stars. The vast majority of customers have praised the lens's excellent performance, build quality, and affordability, making it a popular choice among photographers.

In conclusion, if you are looking for an affordable and versatile lens that performs exceptionally well, then the TOKINA ATX-i 11-16mm F2.8 Nikon F lens is worth considering. Its impressive optical performance, quick autofocus, balanced design, and affordability make it a popular choice among photographers, and with good reason. The lens has shown fantastic results even in the most demanding settings, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their photographic experience.
