Tokina 11-16mm for canon

8salacious9 · Dec 21, 2012

So i searched this forum and found one post but it was old and didnt give me what i wanted to know.

So the question.

I only have the kit lens and 50mm 1.8

the kit lens hardly gets used and i dont particularly want to use it.

has anyone used the tokina for filming? do you have any links? i looked at youtube for a short while but could only find simple films of outside, what i want is footage used in a film situation even if its just for 10 seconds.

I can currently get it for £359.99

so i can get 18mm if im right or close to it, and then il have my 50mm which will be around 80mm which isnt a problem i just get less image coverage am i right?

so should i get this lens? im not looking for alternatives just examples if you have used it and a yes or no based on your experience why.

Thank you

I have the Tokina 11-16. I use it on my 60D and on my FS100. Don't have any links to post for video. Been using it mostly (lately) for trying to learn timelapse. It's a great lens.

I decided to get the Tokina, based on some articles I had read.

This one about rigging out the fs100 for a film.

And from things. Read on another forum I read.

The 50mm also brings the background closer to the foreground than the 11-16mm would.

It's a great lens, though I like my Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 way more. It's a littls sharper IMO and and costs less.

im growing towards this lens, but then looking at the rokinon lens it seems to be close competition, its cheaper too but il look at some more vids
