Alamak, read the posts carefully. The S$900 price tag was derived from MS Color's quote. I didn't say anything about John 3:16's pricing because I didn't ask about it.

it's a DX lens. you know that right? think KRW mentioned that you can use 15-16mm for FX.
not sure about other brands though.
If you mount it on a D3, the D3 will auto-crop. In any case, it doesn't make sense to buy a DX lens that goes from 11-16mm only to use it at 16mm, unless at 16mm f/2.8, it is tack sharp with little optical fault.
Simple.
Depends on your needs. If you need f/2.8, go for the fast glass. If you just need a mainly outdoor-purpose UWA lens, go for the 12-24 and save some dough.
hey, dun mind u can share the link of the pictures shot using this lens, thanks in advance.
btw , u used ani filters?
also is the filter thread 77 mm or 84mm
because on the tokina webpage http://www.tokinalens.com/products/tokina/atx116prodx-b.html it states it is 84mm
but on ken rockwell webpage http://www.kenrockwell.com/tokina/11-16mm.htm it states 77mm
Filter Size is a 77mm.
Just got mine a couple of days back. Great optics i must say. Only problem as mentioned as well by KenRockwell is that there is a greenish flare when taken with bright sunlight

Walking around in T3, so happen to just shoot. ha
Settings: Focal 14mm, F5.6 ISO 320.
Ard town, (A bit dark as i did it on purpose hence become like that)
Settings: Focal 11mm, F11 ISO 100
Just some shots. Still learning so yah. I know the shots dont do justice.
Second image u can see a green speck flare.
Erm resized it as the image file size was too large. No pre processing, just only resized. Photos directly from cam.

cool bro... :thumbsup: thanks for sharing your shots, appriciated for the effort.
If there no post processing, then I should say that the corner sharpness looks good. distortion not much, infact... very minimum liao. The green flare is there because you are shooting directly into the sun, for wide lens, it is very difficult to remove that. Sometimes, I find these flare actually very nice to have
well, the only concern here is the range, this is only able to operate from 11-16mm, quite limited actually ( more like a prime to me ).

Looks to be a bit of compression on these. I think they probably were sharper out of the cam. Nevertheless, very impressive performance.
Waiting for one to be readily available in John 3:16 so I can drop by and test it on the 1D. If I do, I'll update you, kang.

Looks like the Canon 10-22 lens is still the most flare resistant ultra-wide lens out there.
As regards to the focal length, it's not an issue for me. My 17-55 lens is on my camera 95% of the time, so when I need something wider, I just put on the ultra-wide. I never really care about focal length restriction due to the ultra-wide lens.
Hi, I kinda did some compression to suit the size to upload. so yup. haaa. Will try to post some landscape shots for comparison.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Ya, I do agree that the focal range is more like a prime considering its abt a 50% increase. But I'm kinda fine with it as I love to shoot Ultra wide.
I guess the D300 does a pretty good job. haa
THanks for the comments too.
