Tokina 11 - 16 f2.8 first test shot

 Good wide perspective..

 Given the right angle.. it is puncy and deliver.. love every bit of the 2.8 that stand out.

 Tokina possess a certain sharpness at 2.8 which the Tamron does not yield. It depend on your taste. I can say the lens is much more well expose than the tamron lens.. as of this case with Sony mount.

 That seemingly depth of field is well fading away.. love it.

 I wish the bokeh could be a little more creamy at 2.8 but this is quite lovely.

 beautiful contrast and sharpness from this.

 This I think is around 3.5 to 4 I guess..

Was rather busy this few days..and finally able to test a bit of the tokina in the morning. Ironically, this lens was used by the Production company to shoot me for their client.. I was really amazed! haha..

I told them I am getting this lens tomorrow.

Though the unit I got has expired its warranty but the previous two owners took good care of it.. Well, its justifiable to safe RM400 -RM500 from here and secure my lens collection for this year. This is also the most costly lens I had ever bought. Haha...

When I started photography my initial passion is landscape. However, the price of a Sony wide angle and lack of third party lens really put off my dream for awhile. Actually it was quite some years ..since 2006.

All the above have not been PP and come straight out of the camera.

Come to think of it.. luckily I didn't jump for the Sigma 10-20..

CA is visible.. but PP can take care of it and also it was not as obvious as such a distraction anyway.

The vignetting is really well control and love every bit of it.

I hope to be able to shoot some stuff this weekend.

Done lens collection for the year 2012

My schedule this year for lens collection is left with Tokina 11-16 F2.8 UWA. There is once chance that slip away previously.

So it came by two days ago and got to met up with the seller who apparently stayed quite near to my place. Now my anxiety for Taiwan trip is iron out. Haha.. but need to work extra extra hard now.

Well, can't really comment of this Tokina yet... Maybe a trip to the river to shoot this weekend could be fun!!
