- EDGE-TO-EDGE SHARPNESS: The constant f/2.8 aperture lens provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and resolution
- IDEAL CHOICE FOR GIMBAL WORK: Popular among cinematographers too, because the lens provides a wide cinematic feel, minimized breathing, no edge distortion while panning, and the overall weight and internal focus design makes it an ideal choice for gimbal work
- ONE-TOUCH FOCUS CLUTCH MECHANISM: The One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism makes switching from AF to manual focus (MF) simple. While in AF mode the user only needs to snap the focus ring back toward the camera to engage real manual focus control
- COMPLEX OPTICAL DESIGN: Incorporates a complex optical design, with 13 elements in 11 groups. Using 2 aspherical lenses including a large aspherical P-MO element and 2 all-glass molded Low-Dispersion (SD) elements, the lens effectively suppresses chromatic and spherical aberrations
- MINIMAL EXPOSURE VIGNETTING: The front element provides super-low distortion and low light fall-off for straight lines and minimal exposure vignetting
Description
The Tokina ATX-i 11-16mm f/2.8 CF is re-designed for an improved user experience and better image quality. The constant f/2.8 aperture lens provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and resolution. The lens’ optical design reduces flare and ghosting, while maintaining excellent contrast and color. A new waterproof top coat also makes it easier to clean. It is perfect for architectural, landscape, astrophotographers, and cinematographers.
Ideal Choice for Gimbal Work
Popular among cinematographers too, because the lens provides a wide cinematic feel, minimized breathing, no edge distortion while panning, and the overall weight and internal focus design makes it an ideal choice for gimbal work.
One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism
The One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism makes switching from AF to manual focus (MF) simple. While in AF mode the user only needs to snap the focus ring back toward the camera to engage real manual focus control. This gives photographers an authentic tactile MF feel with hard stops on either side of the focus range like traditional manual lenses. Additionally, the directional rotation of the focus ring matches the direction of proprietary Nikon lenses.
