Excellent Wide Angle

Bjerknæs from Copenhagen, Denmark

This is a very strong build lens. I love it for it ultra wide angle and hardly uses it above 15mm. The same goes for aperture. It works very well at F4 but I hardly use it below F13. You have to get used to the push/pull MF/AF-switch but since almost all of my shots are done using a tripod in MF it is a minor detail. You have to watch out for flares but the included hood takes care of most. CA can be a problem at 12-15mm but is easily fixed in PS. Overall the best lens in my small line-up. Would by a new one right away if mine broke (although the build quality suggest that it won't happen!) Read more

Great Performance

kendoitall from Levittown, Noo Yawk

The write-ups were right spot on. It works like advertised. I would recommend a good, solid tripod/ballhead with spirit levels. And if you have it on in a crowded location, be sure to get in close. I test used it for a week on my Nikon D-200, and it will be something I'm sure I won't leave behind on photo shoots. Read more

Good Lens. Good Price.

James from Mishawaka, IN

From all of the reviews I read, Canon (10-22mm) had a slight edge on image quality with Sigma and Tokina neck and neck for a close second. I chose the Tokina because it was [$] cheaper than the Canon and was reviewed as having better build quality than Sigma. I've gotten great results so far, coupled with my Digital Rebel. The only con I've noticed would be purple fringing along some highlight edges. Overall, I'm happy with it. Read more

RUSS-D from Pinellas Park, FL

I bought this lens for my Cabinet business, to shoot pics for our website, and show room walls. I read a lot of reviews on this, and a lot of other lenses. The Tokina came with pretty strong reviews as being a great lens. I would have to agree that it is a very good lens, and seeing that is a lot less expensive as some of thte other glass out there, it is a bargain for sure. Read more

alot in a less expensive package

adadd from canada

I was looking at a ultra wide angle and a zoom. Realized I couldn't afford what Canon offered, I'd have to choose one or the other and that'd would be a tough decision. So I decided to try third party and get both zoom and wide for a fair price. This wide angle is a great lens for the money. Sharp, well built. While the Canon EF-S 10-22mm is a better lens, if you're on a budget you can't go wrong with Tokina 12-24. Read more
