Tokina AT-X PRO FX SD 16-28 mm f/2.8 (IF)

 

The Tokina AT-X PRO FX SD 16–28 mm f/2.8 (IF) was presented in 2010 and, being an interesting alternative for brand name 16-35 mm devices, was definitely worth testing. Unfortunately its launch happened at the same time as the change of the Polish...

solid casing ; excellent image quality in the frame centre, no matter what focal length you use ; good image quality on the edge of the APS-C/DX sensor ; lack of problems with the longitudinal chromatic aberration ; imperceptible spherical aberration ;...

bad technical solution of the AF/MF change ring ; very weak performance against bright light ; slow autofocus ; distinct coma in the full frame corners ; a bit too high lateral chromatic aberration near the maximum relative aperture

Tokina AT-X PRO FX SD 16-28 mm f/2.8 (IF)

 

It is better than average, but not great. I am now only workingwith NIKON D800's which are not forgiving. At 5.6 or 8 it is wonderfulat 18 to 24mm, not great at 16 or 28 and edges are not good at 2.8 on a FX DSLR. The TOKINA 16-28 f2.8 is well worth...

Beautiful color and sharpness after stopped downto 5.6 on. 16-28 is a great range for a 2.8 wide zoom

Not sharp, FX DSLR, across the frame at 2.8.Heavy and large from element

Value for money really good.Filters work well, but want to build a holder itself. Low-priced Chinese Cokin X model.

Very sharp, beautiful color, low distortion and vinjeting

HeavyFront screen difficult to clean and scratches easily

Tokina AT-X PRO FX SD 16-28 mm f/2.8 (IF)

 

First weekend of shooting fall colors with lens and it really did great on my 5D MK III. I rented the 35LII and shot heavly with that prior to this lens and its every bit on par with that one. Yeah its heavy but the build and what you get optically for...

Tokina AT-X PRO FX SD 16-28 mm f/2.8 (IF)

 

This is an all-professional lens. This is the Nikkor 14-24mm for half the price! Yes it flares, but the Nikkor flares too by the same or higher amount. Yes, the Nikkor is super-sharp, but the Tokina has the same levels of sharpness. The main difference...

Outstanding IQ, low distorsion, professional build and everything in general

Flare in some situations

Tokina AT-X PRO FX SD 16-28 mm f/2.8 (IF)

 

I like this lens. I've used the Nikkor 14-24 and 17-35 extensively. It falls between those two in size and weight. It will flare with a light source near the edge of the frame. Heavy, but balances well on a D700. Overall a huge value relative to the...

Excellent build quality, sharp, smooth and quick AF

Some flare, no filters, heavy, cheap lens cap

Tokina AT-X PRO FX SD 16-28 mm f/2.8 (IF)

 

I traded my Canon 24-105 F4 IS for this lens because I needed a wider range of coverage, and did not need the long telephoto reach. I knew I was taking a chance on this since there were no reviews anywhere. But after testing this lens against the Canon...

Sharp, great color/contrast, fully weather sealed

cannot use filters due to shape of front element
