Tokina Cinema AT-X 16-28mm T/3 Lens Review

Tokina Cinema AT-X 16-28mm T/3 Verdict

This may be a trend that we start to see from other lens companies, who have 35mm optical designs ripe for adapting for high resolution cinema applications. With this lens, Tokina have adapted one of their finest optics in a way that provides build and handling much like the highest level cinema lenses available.

Compared to the standard 16-28mm from Tokina, it sports similar levels of sharpness, but with lower distortion and CA levels. This may tempt the occasional photographer towards this lens, if they can stomach the increase in price over the standard version.
