p.2 #1Tokina image thread
I check eBay from time to time, but time to keep a daily tab on the Tokinas I suppose. I still can't believe how sharp the lens I got is. Nice shots, may have to try the 80-200 if the price is right. Also in the market for a 50mm of some flavor.

Looking for a 50, eh? Try the Yashica 50mm f2.0 ML. WOW is all I can say.

Also, here is one I just got done working on. It is my first exposure blend. I don't use filters, so the glare sucked in the foreground..


Very nice photograph.Glare rather ads than sucks IMO.

On the say day, but single exposure. Same lens, same camera:

Nice shots! Here are a few more (posted in the landscape forum as well)


Love that second one. Perfect lighting, treatment, and composition.

Tokina 11-16mm f2.8? That's the only Tokina I have, not very alt though:

Wonderful images here! I recently bought the 35/2.8 Macro and couldn't be happier. Excellent little lens!

All taken with the Tokina 28mm F2.8 RMC, in C/Y mount, on a Canon 7D

I like the colour rendering of this lens, and it is plenty sharp at F8....

p.2 #10Tokina image thread
This one was a bit of a surprise. I paid only $50 for it and thought for sure it would be crap. Thus the surprise! It's really quite good! <shock>



Tokina_AF_100-300mm_f5.6-6.7 @ 300mm, Wide open at the long end. Massive Crop.


110% Crop of above.


Full Image

I didn't need to process this almost at all. This is pretty much "straight out of the camera" so to speak. The moon below I did process though, I don't remember exactly what... maybe some contrast and sharpening?







Tokina_AF_100-300mm_f5.6-6.7 @ 300mm, One stop down from wide open, 100% crop.





Here's what the lens looks like. Maybe you can see why I thought it was gonna be crap?

That looks great! Now only if they made a similar lens for Sony NEX.

Dustin, I especially love the image you opened this thread with. (I haven't worked out how to repost it here or I would have done.)
I'd like to know how you process to get such well exposed foliage AND detail in the water, as the waterfalls I know are so often in dark gloomy places that never get much light.

Nice thread. I love my Tokina lenses, superb build quality, really sharp, and a lot cheaper than L glass.

Been trying to find a 17mm f3.5 for canon without much luck. One being sold in the sell/buy forum at the moment but he wants to sell it as part of a package.

This was the Tokina 11-16. Not exactly alt.

I also just picked up the 50-135 and it is amazingly sharp, and I have the 35mm macro coming this week. The 50-135 has been discontinued for a while and the 35 just got the ax, so if you want one I would suggest heading over to Adorama and placing an order. They told me they have about 5 left for canon mount.
