Cons: Lens is terrible when the background is bright and not even with the sun behind. It ruins photos of people and landscapes and is poor compared with canon lenses. The images look hazy. Needs better coating and flare control.

Pros: Lens is quite fast and good for interiors as long as the back ground is not bright. It is quite sharp.

Summary: Ok but not for landscapes or people if against a bright background . Tokina should do things like paint edges of lens elements to reduce flare as zeiss does.

Cons: small zoom range

Pros: very sharp

Summary: extremely good valeu for money

Cons: None for my use

Pros: Aperture 2.8, all metal, sharp. Easy to correct distortion.

Summary: I love this lens

Cons: A bit heavy after a few hours, a tad soft/blurry at 2.8

Pros: Superb image quality, wide, wide, wide!! Used on a Nikon d7100 I'm chuffed to bits at the stunning quality of this lens.

Summary: I must buy for anyone into landscapes, real estate etc, a bit of a steal at this price.

Cons: The catastrophe backlight. Completely without contrast, a lot of flare. CA so large that it can not be removed even in the editor.

Pros: sharpness, build quality

Summary: I like to take pictures of landscapes with backlighting, so I sold it and bought a lens Canon 10-22. In addition to the build quality is for me in all aspects much better.

Cons: 11-16? nice! but I hope Tokina is to develop something like 16-35 for Full Frame.

Pros: Bright! Build and Image quality is perfect!

Summary: Great Landscapes!

Cons: severe over exposure at longer focal lengths ie 13 mm to 16 mm sent e mail to tokina and got on reply.

Pros: very sharp fast lens

Summary: great if you can just leave it on 11 mm but not if you use a longer focal length.

Cons: Flare. I'd like it to have dust and water sealing.

Pros: A delight to handle and work with. Very sharp. Nine blades which provides nice sunbeams.

Summary: One of my favorite-lenses which never leaves the bag. A solid work-horse.

Cons: Heavy. Only f/2.8 (f/2.0 would be nice indeed). Not max sharp at f/2.8.

Pros: Built like a tank, produces sharp images at f/4 or beyond, fast AF, accurate AF, flare resistant, nice colour rendition as well.

Summary: The best DX wideangle I have met.

Cons: None

Pros: Fast, sharp, f/2.8

Summary: Amazing for landscape.

Cons: limited zoom

Pros: clutch mechanism

Summary: I'm using it on a Nikon D7000; excellent sharpness & color rendition. can be a great lens for creative photography. can see crazy angles all the while. a fraction of an inch makes a vast difference in the output.

Cons: Limited zoom range; Sensitive to flare; One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism (AF/MF ring), I prefer a button.

Pros: f2,8; Excellent built quality; Excellent sharpness; Constant aperture.

Cons: a little bit heavy

Pros: excellent in small places, really close, sharp, no distortortion (DX), very good when I use my sb800

Summary: you can take sharp any small place I always have it with me

Cons: Switching AF/MF sometimes is painfully hard and takes necessity to focus again from 0; AF focus issues in low light with low end Canon DSLR; Flare issues in bright sun; Sometimes for fast action I really miss extra 4 mm at long end...

Pros: Excellent built quality; f2,8!!!! on whole zoom range makes this piece unique; Incredibly sharp even wide open; Reliable work horse for low light action and tight spaces.

Summary: I love this lens. Sharp, fast, well built. Great for low light action and tight urban spaces. Good for landscape work. Used also for shooting HD video with DSLR. Excellent results!

Pros: Everything else very satisfying

Summary: Et en plus il est beau !

Cons: Limited ziim range

Pros: Overall sharpness - amazingly even at the edges! Pro build and handling At f2.8 it's the fastest lens in its class Contrast Comparatively little distortion (easily correctable) and few chromatic abrasions

Summary: Simply an outstanding lens at a very good price!

Cons: Small zoom range Flare A tiny bit soft at f/2.8, but completely acceptable Slow and noisy AF motor

Pros: f/2.8 Very good sharpness Very good contrast Comes with a hood! (Canon 10-22 doesn't) Excellent build quality (almost "L" like) Intelligent AF/MF switch design Great bokeh

Summary: Love this lens! It's wide.. it's fast.. it has 9 blades.. If you're OK with the zoom range, there's no better option than this. Get it and you'll love it too!

Cons: too sensible to flare. Short zoom range.

Pros: Unique! This 2.8 zoom gives what others don't offer at this price: the very large angle with a good image quality. Build construction is very good and the AF is not a problem on such a lens.

Summary: worth the price!

Cons: quite limited zoom range. zoom ring maybe too small for liking.

Pros: great sharpness and contrast.

Summary: quite expensive for micro motor AF lens. after reminding myself, paying half the price of Canon or Nikon made, it is acceptable. photo qualities are on par but able to take photographs in low lights. not so good performance at f/2.8, i do not see any drawback. the f/2.8 is for us to take photographs in low light, where as one cannot judge sharpness in that situation!
