Tokina 12-24mm f/4 review

Above are 2 shots taken at 12mm just to test the lens on the extreme side.


This is an excellent lens.

It is very sharp and with little distortion, even at very wide settings. Flaring has not been a problem and CA is definitely not as bad as some reviews have reported. This lens is amazing and colours are awesome. I bought a hoya hmc filter and I cannot ask for anything else from this lens.

This lens has the feel of a L lens (very solid) and as most people have rightly claimed that it is built like a tank! There is some mild CA in harsh conditions but the colour saturation is canon L quality.

In terms of sharpness it does have to be stopped down a fraction but all wides need to stopped down to get that magic depth of field.
