Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 Lens

The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens is one of the best wide-angle lens for cameras with Nikon DX sized sensors. The lens delivers a great optical quality. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8 -- it's ultimately faster than competing wide-angle lenses in its class. It is also suited for taking pictures in low-light conditions.

The minimum focusing distance of the lens is 0.3m. The build quality of the lens is superb. Given its highly affordable price, this comes as a welcome surprise.

The lens features multi-layer coatings to reduce chromatic aberrations and internal reflections. This allows for better quality pictures with extreme sharpness and greater quality.

The lens features an Internal Focusing mode for a fast and relatively quiet autofocus operation. It also features Tokina's exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism, which allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus manually.
