Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 AT-X 107 AF DX Fisheye review by dadgummit

For what it is (a fun lens) it is an excellent lens. It is sharp at all focal lengths and all apertures and gives an excellently curved field of view. I took this lens to Chichen Itza Mexico to photograph the Myan Ruins. Everyone and their mother...

Sharp wide open, great curvature at 10mm close to a rectilinear lens at 17

Slow/ loud AF (not an issue because there is not much focus range needed)

Great Lens, get one while you can!!

I use this product for shooting surf. I use it in a water housing, and the results have been brilliant. Image quality is excellent. The only thing is that it doesn\'t perform just as well in very poor light conditions, but who wants to shoot then...

Stunning fish eye lens

I have been using this lens for about two years now and I love it to bits. I originally bought it for specialist work (making 360 degree panoramas for the web) so sharpness and quaility was less important to me than price and the fact is was a genuine...

Tokina Fisheye Rocks!

This is one of the lenses that you must have in your bag at all times if you shoot with APS-C sensor size cameras. It produces pin sharp images with great saturation. The construction of this lens is superb and the zoom from 10mm to 17mm very useful....

Nice lens for those with penchant for the creative

I've had a full-frame fisheye lens since the 1970s, starting with the Pentax Takumar 17mm in screw mount, followed by the Pentax in K-mount, and then finally, the Nikkor 16mm manual focus. So, when Tokina came out with this lens (which is actually the...

trustworthy

I was between this and the Nikon's 10mm 2.8. I ended up getting the tokina because a friend had it and after seeing his pictures with it and after using it a bit on his camera (canon), i decided that 3.5-4.5 was fine for what i needed on a fisheye...

Get your entire visual field in the picture

Lightweight lens with super sharp optics, and can be used to focus as close as eight inches. Great for close up nature photography, and you are able to get the flower in focus along with the entire garden in the background. The visual distortion makes...

Heavy Duty , clear and sharp shots

Excellent fisheye lens, the most beautiful thing is that it has zoom capability. With my CANON 20D Body i have to use it at 10mm to get the maximum fisheye effect but still little bit less than 180 degree of the view on this body due to the 1.6 crop...

Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 AT-X 107 AF DX Fisheye review by Lee Jay

Good lens. Above 15mm it doesn't vignette on full-frame. The only trouble is the field curvature which takes a bit of getting used to. Basically, at 4 feet of focus distance, the corners are focused beyond infinity. At 3 feet focus distance, the...

Unique range, works on full-frame too

Review Tokina 10-17 mm Fisheye

As usual for Tokina, this Tokina 10-17 mm lens feels solid. The zoomring has no margin and turns easily. The focussing ring is smooth in operation. The Tokina 10-17 mm lens is available in two versions: with and without a built-in hood. The built-in...

Extremely wide viewing angle ; Little flare when taking pictures in backlight ; Very fast AF ; Can be used with APS-C and full frame sensors ; Well built ; Compact ; Good value for price

Very high chromatic aberration ; Low corner sharpness ; Apertures below f/8.0 less usable because of chromatic aberration and low corner sharpness

The Tokina 10-17 mm Fisheye is suitable for both APS-C and full frame camera's. This lens is compact and focusses fast. Vignetting is remarkably low for a wide angle lens, as is the susceptability for glare. Distortion is large, but this is normal for...

Product Specifications

* This lens enables the shooting of full-frame fisheye images with a 180° angle of view and a focal length of 10mm. Furthermore, the lens offers super wide-angle performance that allows photographer to make use of dramatic changes in angle of view resulting from slight changes in focal length. * Employing ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, this lens effectively compensates to overcome chromatic aberration throughout the image. And with improved optical architecture and a ghost-free lens coating, ghosting and flare are suppressed to produce clear, high-quality images. * The image circle of the lens has been created to match the smaller image recording area of digital SLR cameras. This ensures precise optical performance ideally suited to the camera's digital imaging characteristics. * WP (Water Proof) coating made of a special fluoride compound has been applied to the front surface of the new lens through the use of a unique evaporation process. As a result, the lens offers excellent water- and oil-repellent performance and makes for easier cleaning should the lens be accidentally smeared with fingerprints or cosmetics. * An internal focus system allows photographers to focus from as close as approx. 1" (approx. 2.5 cm), giving them the power to fill the whole frame with surprisingly small subjects.
