That’s awesome, I’m glad you liked the video 😁 i was surprised that the conditions where so great that morning. Thank you for watching Kenji

Joris. Great pictures. Love foggy landscapes and pictures alone with soothing peaceful music. Good job. You have good taste and Tokina Lenses make a great company. I love my 23-mm 1.4 and hoping for more choices for my Fuji camera.

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

Thank you for watching 😊 it was a really great morning, specially because I didn’t know the moon was gonna be there 😁

[@trini938]

Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to use my Tokina 11-16 more often. Great ideas

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

My pleasure, I was surprised again with what this lenses is capable off. I also using it more again 😁 thanks for watching

[@rossburrow2813]

You couldnt resist using the tele, Cheeky! Wow that morning looks amazing, if only you could slow down time to capture it all.

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

No I couldn’t it was to beautiful. Yes that morning was perfect. It was almost just pointing and shooting, it’s gonna look beautiful even if you don’t try. The video would last for a few hours if I could slow down time.

Thanks for sharing was wondering about buying this lens I like what you demonstrated. Enjoy your film process editing the music your subjects and How you express your passion for the art and the surroundings !

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

Thank you so much John 😊 photography is my passion and I’m always hope, that I at least can help an or inspire one person. The Tokina a super cool lens, although I noticed I don’t use it that often anymore. I really like that I liked the video 😁

Thanks for sharing your experience with great results....I love Tokina lens & I have the 12-24mm f4 wide angle lens on my D500... beautiful results & not the most expensive...I am only a hobbyist so I don't have expensive lenses.... cheers from Australia 😀

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

Hello Robert, I also don’t have the most expensive lenses in my bag. I should invest in them, but that’s not always that easy. I do some client work but not enough to buy professional gear. Some day I will switch to professional gear. Have a great day

[@raymondchan3587]

Tokina made a lot of crappy lenses. The best product of it I think is the 100mm macro. Was 12-24mm a crop sensor lenses?

[@robertdavis1255]

@@raymondchan3587 yes and I find it very well made and internal focus is very silent...I purchased s/h with a limited budget....

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

I don’t think the Tokina 11-16mm is a bad lens. Only the manual/ autofocus could been a button, instead of a whole ring you have to pull and push.

[@p8ryot]

Wonderful and Inspirational. I have this lens and want to try shooting the Milky Way in Hawaii next May. Have you used the Tokina 11-16 mm lens for this? It will be my first attempt at shooting the Milky Way.

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

That’s cool. Yes I’ve use this one to shoot the Milky Way and it’s fun to use it. Because it’s so wide you can go to 20 seconds shutter speed. With a wide angle lens you get a little bit star movement, or it’s a little less noticeable.

[@wondersinframes]

Awesome! Just got this lens today. Subscribed :)

That’s amazing 😁 you will have fun with this lens. Thank you for watching.

[@lloydbligh5601]

Thanks for sharing you make the most of the country side and give me ideas. Do you use a filter on you lens when photographing the moon and Suns rays?

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

That’s cool to read that I can inspire you. No I don’t use a filter to get those sun rays, I bump up my F number. From F16 you start to see those sun rays and in this video I shot at F22 if I’m correct. Maybe I should make a video about it 😁

[@lloydbligh5601]

@@JorisVanDeuneghem . Thanks for letting me know about those higher F numbers I had no idea they had that effect. I remember you saying you used that extreme F # but It didn’t dawn on me it was for that reason. I learned something.

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

No problem that’s why I make these videos in the hope I can teach something 😁. I will make a video about it, because it’s not only the high F number, but the sun also needs to be behind something for a big part.

Amazing shots. You’ve inspired me. Could I please ask for setting for your 70-300mm? Those shots really stand out. Also love the Tokina 11-16 which I just purchased. Subscribed & looking forward to seeing more from you. Thanks buddy. ❤

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

Thank you so much, that’s awesome to read that I inspired you 😁. I would have to look in to my photos for the settings, but probably something like iso 100 f8 and shutter speed depending how much light I have to get in to the lens.

[@EZ-viewing.]

@@JorisVanDeuneghem Thanks for replying. I would love to emulate your settings to gain more confidence. Just a suggestion; most other videos include their settings of the images they take on the preview. This makes it alot easier to follow through. You have amazing skills to take exceptional photos. Would love to learn more from you. Thanks again for replying. Take care.

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

I’m working on a new video and I will include the settings from the photos. If you would ever come to Belgium, I give 1 on 1 workshops 😊 normally I always say the settings in my videos before I show the photos, but sometimes I forget it 😅

[@striderwhiston9897]

Wonder if there's any significant difference between the Tokina 11-16mm pro II (2012) and the Tokina 11-16mm atx-i CF (2019)

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

What I see on the internet is that the pro 2 has the internal focus motor and the atx doesn’t have that and also the front element of the atx turns when you zoom or focus, that means when you use filters they wil turn also. In this comparison the pro 2 is the best one (for me) it depends what you need of course.

[@striderwhiston9897]

@@JorisVanDeuneghem You appear to be looking at the old 2007 version. The 2019 CF version does have an inbuilt focusing motor which is apparently upgraded from the pro 2

[@Mountain_Spirit]

What are your settings! ❤

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

I can’t remember anymore, but probably iso 100 Between F8 and F11 and shutter speed I don’t know out of my head. It all depends how the light is and other conditions.

[@HrishikeshRai]

Hi. I'm running the Tokina 11-16 2.8 on my D7500 as my setup, and I've noticed that the lens isn't able to focus quite properly through the viewfinder, but it focuses perfectly spot-on using live view. Did you face this issue as well?

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

Nope, that’s a bit strange. The first thing that I think is a setting or so. This is what IA says: If your lens is focusing perfectly in live view but not through the viewfinder, it could be a calibration issue with your camera's autofocus system. You might want to try adjusting the autofocus microadjustment settings in your camera's menu to fine-tune the focus accuracy when using the viewfinder. Additionally, ensure that the viewfinder diopter adjustment is correctly set for your eyesight to ensure clear focus. If the issue persists, you may need to have your camera and lens checked by a professional technician.

@@JorisVanDeuneghem Thanks 👍🏻

[@Audimann]

I got the tokina 11-16mm and 11-20mm but are not impressed. Center sharpness is ok when you hit focus but the corners are far from ok wide open. Focus consistency is also really bad. AF finetune does not help because the focus is all over the place. And that goes for many wide angle apsc zooms by the way. Only wide angle that works flawless on my D500 is the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8. Whish I could tell more positive things about the tokina but I simply can not. Cheers.

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

Yes you are right. When you shoot wide open at f2.8 it’s super soft in the corners, but for me photographing landscapes, I’m almost always taking photos at f8 or higher and then it’s not to bad in the corners. It’s still there but less. I never shot with the Nikon 14-24mm, if I get the chance I will do that.

[@Audimann]

@@JorisVanDeuneghem since the 14-24mm is a fullframe lens your corners are sharp already at f2.8. Only thing that it is not the widest so 21mm fullframe equivalent. And AF performance is also top notch. And if I want to use the lens to it's full I slam it on my D850😆

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

@Audimann ok so if you put it on a apsc it’s not super wide, but indeed you don’t have soft corners 😁

[@Audimann]

​​@@JorisVanDeuneghemGenerally fullframe lenses work the best on Nikon apsc. There are only a handfull of apsc lenses that I consider worthy enough and that would be the Nikon 17-55mm f2.8, Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, Sigma 50-100mm f1.8, Nikon 35mm f1.8 dx and the Samyang 16mm f2.0 manual focus. The last one is a very underrated lens but optical quality is super. The rest of the apsc bunch I like to throw of a cliff😅😅

[@JorisVanDeuneghem]

@Audimann 😂 do you use the Samyang for landscape photography? I’ve also heard that manual focus lenses actually are good, but it always thought it would suck to focus manually for every photo. But now I focus a lot manually on my shoots 😁 I also have the sigma 18-35mm and also love it.
