Tokina AT-X 11-16mm T3 CINE Lens Review
Tokina AT-X 11-16mm T3.0 Cine Verdict
Those deeply into digital video work will really appreciate the performance and handling of this lens. It produces sharp, contrasty images with relatively low distortion and falloff.
Whether the improved handling it worth an extra £900 to Canon EOS camera system users is another matter. If you have already invested in all the equipment to take advantage of the geared focus and zoom rings, as well as the stepless aperture, then it could well be worth the extra to you.
