Overview
An upgrade of the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II as one significant improvement that makes the lens even more powerful and useful for pro photographers. The lens now features a silent focusing motor (for the Nikon mount) that enables the lens to auto-focus even on Nikon DSLRs that don’t have an AF motor built into the bodies. Apart from this lens now has a slightly better multi-coating to ensure better suppression of flares and ghosts.
The lens inherits all the goodies of the older brother; a fast aperture of f/2.8 that allows the lens to be used in really tough lighting conditions and get away with stunning pictures. If you’re looking for a bright lens that can handle your landscape and architectural shots or take care of a very tight group shot from a less maneuverable position then this is the go to lens. Arguably this one and its predecessor the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX are the sharpest ultra-wide angle lenses for a DX format camera. The angle of view of the lens is 104 – 84°.
The lens construction consists of 13 elements including two Super-Low Dispersion glass elements and two aspherical glass elements arranged in a total of 11 groups. 9 blades make up the lens diaphragm which enables it to have a wide aperture of f/2.8. The lens can also stop down all the way to f/22. The overall weight of the lens is 550 grams and it uses a filter of size 77mm. Available at Amazon | Adorama | B&H
