A great wide angle lens should have these 3 qualities: wide aperture, strong build and stellar optics. Given the arrays of Tokina wide angle offerings, it can be a hard task to choose which one is the best wide angle lens.

Everybody has their own personal preference but I have picked mine here at http://photoseis.com

The history of Tokina lens is a bit twisted. To wet your knowledge appetite, who would’ve guessed that the company was started by Nikon engineers? To read the full story, go to PhotoSeis.

Shooting with a wide angle lens can be a challenging task. People often make mistakes such as not having a clear subject focus, not having a clean background and trying to include everything in the frame. It’s hard to eliminate things that you don’t want since it’s a wide angle lens anyway! But the point in shooting with a wide angle lens is not to get everything in the picture.

The basic photography rule such as selecting the subject to focus on as well as setting the right exposure (shutter speed, aperture and ISO) still applies here. The rule of composition will be different here though since we are dealing with an entirely different kind lens. The subject to foreground perspective will change as well – this means that the subject will look more separated from the foreground compared to when you shoot with a telephoto lens. Also, you’ll be encountered with some distortion here at the edge of the frame. With that challenges, how do you get great pictures with wide angle lenses?

The Tokina 16.5-135 (yes, what a weird focal length…) is the newest Tokina long zoom lens made for Canon and Nikon DSLR camera. It is also Tokina’s first try in making a long zoom lens with variable aperture. Given the excellent lineups of budget long zoom lens from Canon and Nikon, does the Tokina still has a chance?

The Tokina 80-400 lens is an excellent choice should one need a long range telephoto reach but do not want to spend extravagant amount of money to purchase the f/2.8 constant aperture lens. Tokina also made this lens very well and attractively priced for what it offers.

However, people’s concern is this: most lens, especially on the long end of the zoom range suffers from soft optical characteristics. Does this Tokina exhibit the same weakness? Find out the answer in the in depth review at http://photosies.com/

The Tokina 12-24 II is an update to the famous Tokina 12-24 lens.

Is it worth getting the new lens? Or is it better to stick with the old version to save some money? Read the in-depth analysis here.
