Category: SLR Interchangeable Lenses

The Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX is a ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs. Featuring a fast, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout its focal range, this lens is built for landscape, architectural, astrophotography, and interior photography. Its optical design utilizes large-diameter aspherical and SD (Super-low Dispersion) glass elements to minimize distortion and optical aberrations. Equipped with a silent DC autofocus motor, a GMR magnetic AF sensor for accurate focus tracking, and Tokina’s signature One-Touch Focus Clutch mechanism for rapid switching between auto and manual focus, it delivers professional-grade wide-angle imaging performance.

Key Features and Specifications

* Fast Constant f/2.8 Aperture: Maintains an f/2.8 aperture across the entire 16-28mm focal range for enhanced low-light capability and depth-of-field control.
* Full-Frame Coverage: Designed for 35mm full-frame Canon EF-mount sensors (also compatible with APS-C sensor bodies at an equivalent focal range).
* Advanced Optical Construction: 15 elements in 13 groups, including a 56mm front aspherical element, two rear aspherical elements, and three SD (Super-low Dispersion) glass elements to suppress chromatic aberration and field curvature.
* DC Motor with GMR Sensor: Features a quiet DC motor paired with a GMR magnetic AF sensor for responsive autofocus performance.
* One-Touch Focus Clutch: Allows instant toggling between Autofocus and Manual Focus by sliding the textured focus ring forward (AF) or backward (MF).
* Integrated Lens Hood: Built-in petal-style lens hood protects the bulbous front element and helps prevent flare.

Condition and Included Accessories

* Included Accessories: Front lens cap and rear lens cap included.

* Physical and Operational Condition: Contains noticeable interior dust accumulation between glass elements (does not typically impact real-world image quality under normal lighting).

* Mechanical Function: Zoom ring operates stiffer/tighter than standard, requiring extra firm pressure to adjust through the 16-28mm range.

* Exterior Body: Shows cosmetic wear, including light scratches and scuffs across the outer lens barrel.

Lily J. ★★★★★

Been shooting handheld in low-light cathedral interiors and the constant f/2.8 held up beautifully edge to edge, even at 16mm. Build feels tank-solid, and the focus ring is buttery smooth. Only nitpick is the weight, but for this kind of glass you take it.

Miles K. ★★★★★

I've been using this for interior architectural shots and the 16mm end is incredibly wide without noticeable distortion. The build feels solid in the hand and the constant aperture makes exposure adjustments a breeze.

Edward ★★★★★

The constant f/2.8 aperture is a lifesaver for indoor event shots, and I’ve been blown away by how solid the build feels in my hands. Focus ring is buttery smooth, and the lens hood being built-in means I never worry about losing it.
