FAST WIDE ZOOM FOR CANON & NIKON
The second lens in the new “opera” line of lenses for
full-frame DSLRs is the Tokina opera 16-28mm F2.8 FF,
with a versatile wide-angle zoom range ideal for land-
scape photography. It’s offered in both Canon and
Nikon mounts, and though optimized for use with
full-frame cameras, it can also be used with APS-C
DSLRs, providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length range
of approximately 24-42mm.
The lens can focus on objects as close as 11 inches and
features Tokina’s One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism,
which enables seamless switching between auto and
manual focus. It’s also rectilinear, eliminating the curva-
ture of straight lines that can occur at wide-angle focal
lengths. List price: $699. Contact: Tokina, tokinausa.com.
