Tokina ATX-I 11-20mm Plus f2.8 CF Nikon

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF (CF stands for Cropped Frame) is designed as an ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens for DLSR cameras with APS-C sensor. It is a fast ultra-wide-angle Zoom

with

f/2

.8 for DSLR cameras with APS-C sensor.

The focal length of 11-20mm, covering the same angle as the wide-angle 18mm, 21mm, 24mm and 28mm lenses, makes this lens an attractive substitute for a standard Zoom lens or an initial wide-angle Zoom kit

A constant maximum aperture of f2.8 throughout the Zoom range is realized to produce great low-light results, for depth-of-field control and easy manual shooting, while maintaining a reasonable size and weight

Optical performance

To achieve exceptional optical performance required for an ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens, 3 aspherical glass elements and 3 extra-low dispersion glass elements have been used to minimize distortion, prevent spherical aberration and astigmatism, while providing excellent edge-to-edge resolution and high contrast across the entire image

A multi-layer anti-reflective coating improves light transmission and minimizes reflections, while the newly applied water-repellent coating makes it easier to wipe and clean the surface of the front glass element

Build quality and exterior design

Tokina has stayed true to its tradition by incorporating many metal parts into the lens to ensure reliable build quality and long service life under a variety of shooting conditions

sophisticated exterior design has been specially developed to match the design of modern DSLR cameras

Mechanics & Electronics

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF for Nikon F-mount features an internal silent-drive focusing motor (SD-M) combined with a precise GMR sensor, giving the lens accurate and fast autofocus.

The one-touch focus coupling mechanism allows for easy switching between autofocus and manual focus, and the

overall length of the Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF does not change when focusing and Zooming, as the focus is inside the lens. The Zoom mechanism inside the body allows the use of C-PL filters

For still photography

The extremely wide focal length of 11-20mm and constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 make this lens an indispensable tool for the following areas of photography: landscape, group photos and environmental portraits, architecture (especially interiors), car photography, weddings, street photography, and night vision

For video content production

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF is designed for videographers and filmmakers who shoot both stills and video professionally. It offers the following advantages for these types of users.

• Wide-angle enough to feel confident even in small places
• Minimal focus breathing - the image area does not change much when the focus is adjusted from near to far
• Naturliche shots - the image is not distorted when panning because the distortion is very low
• Constant aperture to use the full Zoom range while filming
• Excellent optical performance

CAUTION: The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF lens is designed for compatibility with DSLR cameras (APS-C format). When used with cinema cameras such as BlackMagic, it is recommended to use the lens in manual focus mode

The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm F2.8 CF is perfect for use with a gimbal

• Ideal wide-angle fit to cinematic standards.
• Lightweight
• Zoomfeatures that allow the user to shoot at different angles with the same lens
• Since the overall length does not change thanks to internal focusing, the Tokina gimbal does not
need to be attached.

• not change thanks to internal focusing, the gimbal does not need to be calibrated every time the angle of view is changed
• Great color reproduction
• and
• resolution features
