In this post, I’ll be doing the Tokina 16-28mm review, Tokina’s first ultra wide angle lens for full frame DSLR. If you’ve read my previous Tokina lens review, you know that Tokina is excellent at making ultra wide lens. My favorite is the Tokina 11-16mm lens. This is Tokina’s first wide angle...

This is the Tokina 16.5-135 Review – I know, the focal length is totally awkward! This is Tokina’s first attempt in making a walk around consumer zoom lens and I was pretty excited to test it at first. I was expecting a very solid performance like the Tokina 11-16 wide angle lens, but I was soon...

I finally got myself to test this old lens last week and now I have enough information to write the Tokina 80-400 review. I got the Canon mount from Amazon. The Nikon mount is also available. I tested the lens on my Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera. The Tokina 80-400mm looks like a very promising alternative to the much...

You’re looking at the new Tokina 12-24mm f4 PRO II lens review. This lens is an update to the old Tokina 12-24mm lens. On this update the Tokina added a built-in motor to the lens so that it can autofocus with Nikon’s entry level DSLR such as Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100 or D5000. It also makes the...

Writing this Tokina 11-16 review is a pure joy for me because this is probably the best ultra wide angle lens that I have ever tested to date. In fact, it is so good that Tokina even make the Sony mount (this is the first time Tokina ever made a lens for other company besides Canon or Nikon!) I bought the Canon mount...

*UPDATE* This is the old Tokina 12-24 review. Tokina released an update to this lens called the Tokina 12-24mm II lens. The update features a built in motor which allows the lens to autofocus with Nikon’s entry level DSLR. However, if you’re not using Nikon’s entry level DSLR, I’d suggest you...

This is a Tokina 16-50 review. The Tokina 16-50mm f/2.8 DX is an old lens from 2006. It was made to target the professional photographers who want a fast, standard zoom lens. I tested the Canon mount that I got from B&H Photo (this lens is a bit hard to get nowadays) on my Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera. As usual,...

This is the Tokina 50-135 review, a good and fast (f/2.8) telephoto lens that is very hard to get nowadays. Luckily, I was able to get the Canon mount from Amazon. The Nikon mount is available from B&H Photo. For this lens review, I used my Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera. The Tokina is a good substitute for people who...

This will be the Tokina 100mm Macro review. And for anyone looking for a well-built lens for macro photography, this is the lens to get. I tested the Canon mount on my Canon EOS 7D. The Nikon mount is also available. It’s as sharp as the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro which I really like. And even better, this...
