Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

Mark, I agree...Lake Louise was probably not the best choice as I don't think any of my equipment, and certainly not my talent, can really do Lake Louise justice. This one is a little brighter, while still showing off the sharpness of this lens. The distortion is a little rough at 11mm but I think it's worth the trade...

Let me know what you think...

I think that the building looks odd and I'm not (or at least I think I'm not) talking about the distortion. Also, the whole picture is a bit underexposed, but that's noting you can't fix using your favorite PP software in a snap.


Oh and I really like the sky (PP?).

Ohh and look at the upper right corner, is that dust on your sensor? [:P]

This shot was taken after I was on the Maid of the Mist, so fortunately that is just a water spot on my lens filter...thought I had got all of them. [:$]


Thanks for the comments

I've been doing quiet a bit of research on this lens, heard onlygood thingsabout it. It's going to be the next lens I purchase. I was going to get it last month but a 100-400 took it's place.

But Sean of another thread commented negatively...

What makes such a discrepancy??

[Sean Setters]

I don't know. I wish the Tokina would have performed well. It's built like a tank, and I liked the constant f/2.8 aperture. However, if it won't focus correctly, it's useless to me. There's a possibility that the lens doesn't play well with the 50D (practically the newest camera at the time). They might have even corrected the issue by now. All I Know is that two separate copies performed terribly in my hands. After returning the second Tokina, I purchased the Canon 10-22 f/3.5-4.5. It's worked flawlessly and given me images I absolutely love.
