Interesting ^^

[potatowitz]

So...my walkaround is the Canon 15-85mm. After looking through this entire thread and convincing myself daily, I purchased this lens a week ago. The next day, i started to wonder to myself, "Wait...is 11mm that much different than 15mm?" I suddenly started to feel those regretful feelings, possibly a "buyer's remorse" even before i had lens in hand.

Got it today. It's amazing how much more you capture at 11mm than 15mm. I am definitely glad I purchased this and look forward to my St. Maarten trip in a few days!

it helps to look at focal lengths in terms of ratios, not differences.

ie, a 1mm difference means nothing to a 200mm focal length, but a huge difference to a 10mm focal length! :)

[blindmullet13]

Spent weeks researching an UWA and settled on the Tokina. Took some practice getting the pics and focusing right but I'm happy with the results.

[DigitalTuned]

Great first post, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome!... a couple more pics from my travels. A friend had the Canon 10-22mm on the same trip and I noticed that in some of his pics the focus softened as you moved away from the center quite noticeably. Happy with the Tokina, it's a solid lens.

Great automotive shots, makes me miss this one (went from 40D + 11-16 to 5Dc + 17-40, among other switches).
I was never unsatisfied with the 11-16, but felt like I needed to consolidate my lenses... but damn the 11-16 was nice ;)

its a tad overkill on a full frame body but its fun i always bring it with me maybe trade it for a 12-24 maybe may have to try the 12-24 out one day on the 5dmII

why ? ( im just curious :D )

[mannix143]

i was actually planning the same thing.

[kshark]

why ? ( im just curious :D )

Thinking seriously about going with the Canon 10-22. I tend to use this lens a lot on vacation and the 16mm is more limiting than I thought it would be. I rented the 10-22 for a recent Disney trip and really liked it. The extra 6mm made a big difference in being able to get some "normal" perspective shots without changing lenses.

Usually I don't mind changing lenses often if needed, but when I'm on vacation it's nice to be able to get something scenic or a grab quick family shot on the fly.

First I have to say, this lens rocks for Lightning shots!

We got our first real rain in 7 months in Southern New Mexico last night and with it came a killer lightning storm. This was our first storm in our new house and WOW, what a perfect location to capture some lightning.

Here are a few of the 70+ shots we got with lightning in them.

Awesome!!! I just ordered one of these lenses to compliment my current set up ... 24mm on a crop is fine but every so often there isn't the option to move on me feet!! Very impressed with lots of the shots in this thread and the reviews of this lens are very favourable indeed.

Looking forward to having a play!

shot of the organ mtns in Las cruces new mexico. Color.....

or B&W....???


Definitely the color version. The black and white looks over processed to the point where it looks like an emboss/bevel filter was used in photoshop. Doesn't look natural.

Awesome lightning shots!

that can happen due to being too heavy handed with the channel mixer, ime.

Love it, very surreal!
I guess that just shows to each his own :p

Don't know if I'd have processed it like that myself, but it has something I like...

Actually is was my HDR program that did it. I just liked the sky dark and creepy looking. :) But then again I like the color version too, so I thought I would post up both.

Any pics of this guy at 16mm on a full frame? I'm thinking of borrowing this from a friend for an indoor shoot where I'll have 5D2, 16, 35, 85.

[ride5000]

there are many, many shots of this lens on a full frame camera here: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=%22full+frame%22+tokina&w=10383467%40N07&s=int&z=e

the actual focal length of the shot can be found in the description/caption field.

basically anything with no hard vignette is >14.5mm.

[Headshotzx]

Thanks for the link ride! But it's difficult to determine which is which since the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 is available for FF!

Always always trust your gut...

If i can find a good 15mm canon ef 2.8 i may buy it

Is there really a need for 2.8 on a lens like this which, lets be honest, is a 95% landscape lens. So most of the time it will be stopped down to anywhere between f/8 - f/13?

Is there really a need for 2.8 on a lens like this which, lets be honest, is a 95% landscape lens.

Really? 95%?

How about all the people who have bought it for use indoors where flash is not permitted - churches, museums, etc. It's used for that purpose by 87.2659722% of people (hey, if you're going to invent a statistic you may as well invent an unbelievable precise one).

my most interesting shots on flickr with this lens (http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tokina&w=10383467%40N07&s=int) disagree with your analysis.
