Tokina AT-X 107 DX (10-17 f3.5 )

Overview

10mm

Picture Comparison

The new Tokina AT-X 107 DX is a full-frame fish-eye lens that gives the photographer a 180&Mac176; field of view with dramatic Curvature of field or “fish-eye” effect. With this lens an entire view or vista can be captured, wider than the human eye can see. The AT-X 107 opens an entirely new dimension of photography.

The front element of the AT-X 107 DX has a newly formulated WP or “Water Proof” optical Coating on the glass. This new coating makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much easier to clean than standard multi-coating.**

The rear optical group of the lens contains 1 SD (Super-Low Dispersion) glass element to reduce the number of elements (pieces of glass) in the optical design in order to make the lens more compact, light-weight and faster focusing.

Excellent fisheye lens, the most beautiful thing is that it has zoom capability.
With my CANON 20D Body i have to use it at 10mm to get the maximum fisheye effect but still little Bit less than 180 degree of the view on this body due to the 1.6 crop factor.
But on the full frame bodies (starting from 14mm) and 1.4 crop factor (at 10mm) bodies it's perfect.
Any way I think it's the best choice for those who have body with crop factor.
Image quality is great,with sharp shots,and the coating is perfect ,no flares, BUT there is few chromatic aberrations at the edges and at the highlight spots, it's acceptable, and can be corrected by Photoshop easily, and still your photos are published even if didn't correct it.
The Auto focus is accurate and work perfect, the Manual focus is very soft which i didn't like, but you don't need Manual focus most of the time for this lens.
Finally i recommend this lens for any body who like the fisheye effects and who search for super wide angle shots, with any Canon EOS Body.
