Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It seems to have excellent capability for use while indoors. Had never owned a tokina lens previously and had not paid much attention to the brand.

The tokina is just as sharp as my tokina 100mm macro 2. It is sharp as a tack and produces beautiful quality photos even at f/2. Wide focal length and aperture make this lens perfect for astro-photography.

The tokina at-x 16-28mm works perfectly for all of that. Attaching a shot, at 16 mm, f2. F20, 125 iso. The zoom is perfect for making adjustments for photos in tight places.

As a canon shooter, my preference is to buy canon l lenses. Most lenses are a bit softer wide open though, so this is hardly a problem.

Only neg is the weight, but hey, it's got a lot of glass in it.

Cons

This lens has a high failure rate even if it has a well known manufacturing defect. Should have a 3 year warranty. Not worth the hassle with buying and returning online.

Quality

To my surprise the built quality was excellent and the lens is a fine lens

I am extremely happy with the ones that i own

The only problem i have is with the clap its very uncomfortable to carry

Ive attached an image i shot of the broad art museum in downtown los angeles with the tokina atx 1628mm f2

Price

8 at this price plus its very sharp does have a flare more than oem canon but the fraction cost settles it for me

Overall this is an excellent lens for the cost

Got this lens for architectural photography when the price went down

There are no threads for filters and any kits you buy to fit this lens will cost you the price of the lens

Shipping

This is exactly what i wanted and the shipping it was ok

I purchased mine for 549 at bh photo with free shipping

Packaging/appearance

I brought this lense because i already had the tokina 1016mm f2

I previously used the tokina 1116mm f2

I have not tried this lense for milkyway shots but will soon as the moon gets out of the way

Competitiveness

I have this paired with a d750 for any uwa needs

I use this lens on a nikon d850 mostly for astrophotography

Had never owned a tokina lens previously and had not paid much attention to the brand

Tokina has a cheaper tokina 1735mm f4 fx af but the store camera guys said it wasnt as sharp as this
