Product Description


The Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens provides an ultra-wide angle and a fast aperture for better photography in low-light situations. Many photojournalists consider having an f/2.8 aperture a must for any lens in their camera bag.

Based on the outstanding optical design of the AT-X 124 PRO DX (12-24mm f/4) lens, the AT-X 116 PRO DX has a slightly shorter zoom range to maintain optical quality at wide apertures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A better solution than the Nikon 10-24., November 18, 2010
This review is from: Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens For Nikon (Electronics)
I actually bought this lens from Amazon as a kit, which included a 77mm low profile UV filter and camera cleaning kit. But since all of the reviews for this lens are here, I am posting my review here as well.

I was in the market for a super-wide angle DX lens, and I had originally considered a Nikon 10-24. Then I ran across this lens in several reviews that suggested the Tokina might be a great alternative. I own several Nikon lenses, and this is the first time I did not buy a Nikon lens.

I am really glad I bought the Tokina 11-16 lens.

My first consideration was the focal length. The reason I am purchasing the lens is for a super-wide angle, so the 10mm of the Nikon vs. the 11mm of the Tokina was the most important concern. Published specifications indicate a 109 Deg Field-of-View for the Nikon, and 104 Deg for the Tokina. Doing a bit of math suggests a 4% wider image for the Nikon.

But what does that really mean? I finally found a review... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lens, January 2, 2009

This review is from: Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens For Nikon (Electronics)
This is the best wide-angle lens around for cameras with Nikon DX sized sensors. It's got great optical quality, and with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 it's faster than competing wide-angle lenses.

The only cautionary note I would add is that although the Tokina lens itself is built like a tank, Tokina lens caps seem to be less sturdy. At least, that's the conclusion I reached after the lens cap on my Tokina broke after my camera dropped a few inches onto a tatami mat in Japan. In looking at the broken cap, I wasn't too impressed by its construction with its tiny fragile looking, broken plastic clips. I now have a Nikon lens cap on the lens. If you get this lens, I suggest protecting your investment by buying a Nikon 77mm lens cap for it and ditching the one that comes with the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good performance, January 9, 2009
This review is from: Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens For Nikon (Electronics)
I have had this lens for about 6 month. It is an excellent lens. Construction is Nikon pro quality. It produces very good results with DX body at all apertures, of course a bit better stepped down. Edge performance is significantly better than 12-24 both Nikon and Tokina. It can also be used on a full frame cameras. I used it on D700. At 16mm it has insignificant levels of falloff in the corners, 15 is still usable.
