Review: Tokina 12-24mm
Feb 01
I just though I would write a little review about a great wide angle lens; the Tokina AT-X 124 AF PRO DX 12-24mm f/4. It is available for both Nikon and Canon digital cameras. Lens hood is included in the box. I bought mine used for about $425.00 USD but the suggested list price is $899.00 USD.
Build Quality: 9.5/10
The lens is very solid and doesn’t feel cheap or plastic-ish. Zooming and focusing is very smooth, and the AF is very fast.
Price: 10/10
You can’t beat the price on this lens; it can be purchased for under $500 form various online camera shops. The lens produces sharp, high quality images reminiscent of a pro-level lens.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for your first wide-angle lens, this is a must-have. You can’t beat the quality for the price. The Tokina 12-24mm is loads of fun and I fully recommend it.
