Overview

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF (CF denoting cropped frame) is crafted as an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C sensor DSLR cameras, standing out as the sole f/2.8 fast ultra-wide-angle zoom lens available for APS-C-sized DSLR cameras in the current market. Encompassing a focal length of 11-20mm, equivalent to the angles covered by prime lenses at 18mm, 21mm, 24mm, and 28mm, this lens emerges as a compelling choice after a standard zoom lens or initially owned wide-angle zoom kit lens. With a consistent maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, it delivers exceptional performance in low-light conditions, offers depth-of-field control, and facilitates effortless manual shooting, all while maintaining a practical size and weight.

Features

Optical Performance

To attain outstanding optical performance essential for an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, the incorporation of 3 aspherical glass elements and 3 Super-Low Dispersion glass elements was employed. This strategic arrangement serves to minimize distortion, address spherical aberration, and mitigate astigmatism, resulting in exceptional edge-to-edge resolution and heightened contrast across the entire image.

Furthermore, an anti-reflective multi-layer coating enhances light transmission and reduces reflections. Additionally, a newly applied water-repellent coating facilitates easier wiping and cleaning of the front glass element's surface.

Built Quality & Exterior Design

Remaining true to its traditions, Tokina has integrated numerous metal components within the lens, ensuring a robust build quality and prolonged durability under various shooting conditions. The refined exterior design is meticulously crafted to harmonize with the aesthetics of contemporary DSLR cameras.

Mechanics & Electronics

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF designed for Nikon F mount features an internal Silent-Drive focusing Motor (SD-M) paired with a precise GMR sensor, ensuring accurate and rapid autofocus. The one-touch focus Clutch mechanism facilitates easy switching between autofocus and manual focus. Thanks to its internal focus and zooming mechanism, the overall length of the lens remains constant during focusing and zooming, enabling the use of attached C-PL filters.
