I don't want to sound a little dumb, but what are those beautiful lights in the sky?! They look so... magical and galaxy like! I haven't seen it in Australia before... :o

I used to see the Northern Lights when I lived in South Dakota. Now that I live in Arizona I never see them. Very very nice picures!

I just got my Tokina in the mail this evening. I had a great opportunity to use it for the first time at a local bike night. Here is a shot of a few bikes at Westgate in Glendale, AZ. This lens did amazing work in low light conditions.

Shot 11mm @ f/2.8 ISO 800 on my Canon 7D hand held.

I have just ordered a Tokina 11 - 16 and currently have a Hoya Pro 1 CPL (that I use with my Canon 70 - 200L 2.8 Would this CPL be suitable for use with the Tokina? I have read posts that indicate that one should get a "thin" cpl - but I don't know what that means!

Thank you!

Ollie

I dont think it will work. I believe the 70-200mm is a 67mm and the Tokina is a 77mm.

The 70-200 f/4.0 is 67mm
The 70-200 f/2.8 is 77mm

You don't need a thin CPL for the 11-16. I use a 77mm Hoya HD on mine.

For those of you who shoot frequently with this lens, how often do you find yourselves using f2.8 and at 11mm? I'd love to get an UWA lens not just for landscapes and buildings, but also for close up and a bit of exaggerated perspectives.

I was debating on the Sigma 10-20 (and now the Sig. 8-16 also came into the picture), but don't know if f4 + would be limiting on the Sigmas, or the 11mm FL be limiting on this Tokina.

For some reason, the Tok 12-24mm never really did it for me; can't really put my finger to it...

Any advice would be great.

For me, it depends on the available light. The MFD is kind of far (I believe most Sigmas will allow you to get up close and personal). That said, if you get a good copy, it is pretty sharp at f/2.8.

The MFD of the Tokina is a couple of inches longer than the 10-20/22 varieties out there. It doesn't sound like much, but in the world of UWA, it can make a difference in some shots.

from all i have heard mostly everyone does end up with a good copy which is kind of one of the main reasons this lens got so popular, no?

I means what is the point of a UWA F2.8 lens if its not sharp at F2.8, right?

I have a B+W MRC Kaesemann Circular Polarizer CPL 77mm which I use on my 70-200 2.8. It fits on the Tok 11-16 and does not cause any vignetting.
