Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 PRO FX: Verdict

If this lens was judged on sharpness alone, it represents excellent performance for the price. Unfortunately issues such as the high levels of chromatic fringing towards the edges of the frame and distortion make this less of a clear-cut winner.

As both of those issues can be corrected to some degree in software afterwards, this lens is still an interesting alternative to the manufacturer's own offerings, especially if these times of austerity mean that your budget is limited.

Good sharpness and build quality for a reasonable price.
