New Tokina ATX-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF - Must have wide angle for APS-C?

[@shzammpatapon9865]

at 16mm you can fit it in full frame which is awesome, use it with speedbooster and you get a f2.0 with the wide and zoom lens

[@OberonCooks]

You can actually do the same with the 11-16.

[@TWTW812]

And more then 16? Can i use this on full frame?

[@joffemannen]

Got this lens as the investment of the year - but next year is soon and I wanna go full frame so I really hope I can still use it between 16-20mm!

[@jamesbath3893]

Where did you order it from? I can't find it for sale anywhere in the UK

[@DamianAronidisTV]

I think that the vignette of the C300III comes and goes because of a setting on the camera. I would look for a "lens correction" setting to turn it off. At least on my 5DIV was like that. Turned off lens correction on video mode and the weird vignette on/off of every lens I use, is gone! Nice video, this Tokina lens is something I look forward to buy

[@cubul32]

Did you pair this lens with sigma art series? Using on 5d4 as well.

[@cityguytexas1964]

Damien - I recently purchased a BMPCC6K Pro and decided upon two Meike S35 Cinema Lenses - 12mm and 18mm to go with the camera. I should have discovered your video MUCH EARLIER, as I already had a 11-16mm (circa 2010) and 11-20mm (circa 2022) Tokina lenses which I've been using with an APSC camera. Both of these lenses seem to have an image circle greater than the S35 sensor of the 6K Pro, as I can detect no vignetting on the camera's image when using either of these Tokina lenses. I've checked a number of my Canon lenses for APSC cameras (including a "modified" EFS 10-18mm STM lense and have been pleasantly surprised to find no vignetting. Thanks for calling to my attention - that some lenses marketed as APSC will also work on the BMPCC6K's S35 sensor !

[@Brunton_Media]

Great video bro, This lens looks amazing!

[@damiencooper]

thanks man

[@Brunton_Media]

@@damiencooper Anytime buddy!

[@fabthefab75]

I'll eventually add this lens for the 11mm focal length on my R7/Viltrox EF-R3 combo. It will become a 12.5mm at F2. Alternatively, it will be a great addition to my BMPCC6K too.

[@fabthefab75]

Done. Wider than the Sigma 14mm 1.8 and still no distorsion. Good buy. But it does NOT work with the R7/Viltrox combo. It's an APS-C lens so it won work as you make your lens become Full Frame like. But, it works with the regular adapter with ND, CPL and UV filter becoming a 17,6 mm . I think i'll stick it to my BMPCC6K.

Thanks for such a detailed review. I'm looking to do some Milky way photography with a Nikon D7500 but am confused whether to buy a Tokina 11-16 f2.8 or a Tokina 11-20 f2.8. I've read some pretty good reviews about the 11-16 but also that it gives a hard time to focus at infinity, which I believe is essential to photograph the milky way. Kindly advise which lens should I go with?

[@cswann8]

I know, a year later, but for astrophotography it won't matter as you'll manual focus anyway.

Another great "real world" video which I think really sets apart your content by the way for people like me who buy this stuff for making a living. Ok so dumb question here, after I just ordered this lens because of your video hahah, but when I put this lens on my BMPCC4K with my EF MB Speedbooster .67 ... what happens? Is the lens usable in that entire 11-20mm range? (I know there will be a 1.22 crop due to BM4K+Speedbooster) Also ... if I put this on my Canon R5, is it fully usable in the 11-20mm range?

Qs: chromatic abberation? And do you think it can blend with sigma art series?

[@michaelfrymus]

I have the Tokina 11-20, I suppose now the older model.. and for video use, I hate it. I shoot on a Sony, and I need an EF to Sony-E adapter. In manual mode, its perfectly fine. But, if I want to have autofocus, when vlogging or when on a gimbal, its 100% useless. It does not work. I am wondering how this will compare, if the lens will actually focus when using an adapter for autofocus video

[@getfmlr]

Sony sucks for adapted glass, you will never get AF for video like the native lenses. The Tokina lens on Canon or Nikon works flawlessly for video. On the photo side it has a lot of aberration.

[@humtermods]

How is this lens handling the chromatic aberration as i own the 11-16 DXII (Old version) and on only on this department is terrible i would upgrade to this version only because of that

[@aeldus66]

Hi I'm Italian and my English is not good enough. According to you, I have a canon 80d and a Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM I want to replace the 10-18 with a better but not very expensive lens. What do you recommend the tokina 11- 20 f2.8 or the canon 16-35 f4? Thanks for your answer Bye from Italy

[@MyFlyingEyes]

Is there any difference with the older version? is it worth the $80 difference?

[@MikeMena]

THE BLACK RINGS: I got that same thing on my EOSR, but it went away when I turned off the aberration correction mode... does the you camera have that? It fixed the problem for me 👍🏽👍🏽

[@damiencooper]

huh, good to know. I, unfortunately, didn't have enough time to do more testing. But I guessed it was a software issue

[@MikeMena]

Monkeypixels I was very mad and I almost returned the lens until my friend told me the firmware in lens (tamron 85mm) might not be updated and turn off aberration correction, and it fixed the problem!

[@Audimann]

I have the former version but all my wide angle zoom apsc lenses are quite bad on my Nikon D500. So I tried the Nikon 14-24 f2.8 ( I know it is a FF lens) at 14mm versus my apsc lenses and the Nikon trashes all of them. Ok 14mm apsc means 21 FF equivalent so not most wide angle but is apsc suitable for wideangle? I do not think so. For real great wide angle fullframe is just the best.

[@ron-shah]

Given the low aperture f2.8, would you recommend this lens for shooting Milkyway?

[@professionalpotato4764]

It is ok, but there's faster glass out there for APS-C. The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 or Fuji 16mm f/1.4 are probably the best in the entire APS-C industry right now. Rokinon 12mm f/2 is also a popular favourite.

[@moveabledo]

Does this come with the BH-821 lens hood?

[@electronicfellows2113]

probably stupid question but can you shoot at 12 & 13mm on the 11-20mm tokina lens? Since it doesn’t have the 12 & 13 markings written on it. It goes 11, 14, 16, 18, 20

[@joffemannen]

It's continuous - it does anything between those millimeters. But the details on the picture might not show if its 11.15 or 11 or 12 and so on

[@gokcegrbz]

This particular lens doesn't have VR (IS). Have you felt the need of an image stabilisation function while doing hand-shots or was it alright?

[@damiencooper]

Never needed it. Especially on such a wide lens

[@LucaBono.Studio]

Thanks for the review! I actually prefer the focus clutch system, it's faster and give a more manual focus feeling. Can this lens cover a full frame sensor at 16mm and above?

[@damiencooper]

I don't know. The EOS R automatically switches to S35 mode when you attach it

[@ChristopheAnagnostopoulos]

Yes, it can. It works perfectly on my Nikon D850 from 16mm to 20mm in FX mode.

[@jasonnowwhat5041]

Hey man, have you used this with your R5? I’m noticing that some third party crop lenses are able to be used as full frame lenses. For example, if I use the Tamron 10-24 crop lens with EF adapter, the R5 behaves like a 13mm full frame at its widest with NO vignetting. Do you know if this lens forces the R5 into crop mode? Thanks.

[@jillianangell2570]

If it's a canon mount then no. Any canon EF lens is fully electronic. The only way to set the aperture is to stop down on another canon EF camera then remove it without turning off the camera. Some Nikon mount lenses have a mechanically controlled aperture.

I have a Nikon D3300, and bought the Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f2.8 Pro DX. Now, apparently both my camera and the lens do not have built in autofocus. So I could only focus manually. I am currently in the process of returning the lens, also because the focussing ring does not properly switch between AF and MF, it tilts and does not stay in place. Why they did not choose for a simple little button switch is beyond me.. I sent an e-mail to Tokina USA, where they informed me the lens could autofocus with my D3300, so I don't know if the lens I got is just horribly malfunctioning or the person responding had no clue what they were talking about. After some digging I discovered the 11-16mm DX also does not autofocus and the 11-16mm DXII does. Which makes me reconsider just buying the 11-16 DXII instead of the 11-20 DX, or waiting until they update this built in autofocus mechanism. What I am mostly curious about, and could not find on my own, is if this ATX-i CF version DOES have built in autofocus, or if the i means this one can autofocus with the D3300.

[@getfmlr]

I owned the 11-20 AND D3300. It does indeed Autofocus on that body. I now moved to Canon and again bought the EF version of this lens and it works great.
