Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 Pro DX Lens for Canon
The Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 Pro DX is a versatile wide-angle zoom lens for Canon EF-S DSLRs well-suited to working in a wide variety of situations. It offers a 16.5-30mm equivalent focal length and features a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for maintained brightness throughout the zoom range.
One P-MO hybrid aspherical element and two glass-moulded aspherical elements work in tandem to minimise distortions and control various aberrations while three SD ultra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations for increased clarity. A multi-layer lens coating has also been applied to further enhance overall light transmission and colour accuracy by suppressing lens flare and ghosting.

Benefitting the usability, a one-touch focusing clutch permits quick switching between autofocus and manual focus modes, and an internal focusing design maintains the overall length of the lens during use. The medium-torque focusing ring further benefits precise handling by allowing for refined control when manually focusing. Also, this lens sees the incorporation of a nine-blade diaphragm, which contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when employing shallow depth of field shooting techniques.
The Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX ultra-wide angle lens features an expanded telephoto zoom range and improved optical performance. The lens is designed for use with Canon DSLR cameras with APS-C sensors.
Tokina adds to its family of fast-aperture wide-angle zooms focused on providing photographers professional quality optics and construction at an affordable price.
The new proprietary optical design uses three aspherical lens elements (2 all-glass molded and 1 P-MO hybrid) to achieve superior contrast, sharpness, and correct for spherical aberrations. Additionally, Tokina uses three SD (super-low Dispersion, “FK01” and FK03”) glass elements to control chromatic aberrations.
This compact ultra wide-angle zoom lens has a bright, constant f/2.8 aperture making viewing and auto focus possible in low light situations but still maintaining portable size and weight.
Tokina’s exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the lens mount for manual focusing. The lens is also designed to stand up to the rigors of daily use by photographers in a wide variety of shooting conditions and environments.
