"I will try to make this review worth your while because I know what its like to be on the fence and frantically researching lenses and prices. I had been looking for a super wide angle for a great deal of time before I decided upon the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. Before this lens, I was using my Sigma 18-200 as my wide-angle, as I am sure you can figure out, the 18mm just wasn't cutting it. I had toyed with the idea o..." Read Full Review »

Dissapointing @ f2.8

"When I bought an f/2.8 "pro" lens, I expected it to be usable wide open. I was very disappointed to find my copy of this lens was unsuitable to achieve professional results when used wide open. At f/2.8 it was sharp enough at the center, but consistently too soft around the edges. The lens did much better when stopped down to f/5.6. Perhaps I just didn't receive a very good copy. If I have to stop down the Tok..." Read Full Review »

"I had the choices between the Canon EF 10-22mm, Sigma's 10-20, Tamron's 11-18, Tokina's 12-24, and the Tokina 11-16. After doing some extensive research, i decided to go for the Tokina 11-16 due to its f2.8. I already have a Canon 17-55 f2.8, so i decided to just fill the gap. I am glad to say that …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought this lens as a compliment lens for my canon 24-105L for use on the 50D. After the first day of using it I was hooked. This the best ultra wide angle lens available.

"I had to decide between this Tokina 11-16 and the Canon 10-22 for my 50D so I tried out both. The Tokina has a better build, fixed 2.8, but more limited range. Since I have the Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS, I was looking to extend my lower range so this fit the bill. I found that at medium range and aperatur …"  Read Full Review »
