5D / Tokina 11-16mm 2.8

[ROCKMORE]

Anyone out there using a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 on a 5D at 16mm.
I've heard a lot of comments about it but few examples.

I did find this one sample after starting this thread.

Yeah I love it, but I need to stop down to avoid some stuff in the corners. Not vignetting, but lighter. My lens of choice right now.

Do you have any clips or stills to post?

Thanks

I found another few Tokina 11-16 tests shot on a 5D

look it up on kenrockwell.com, I don't have my stuff ready to upload. I'll post a video if I am able to put the latest video online, but it depends on if the client allows it.

The concept is good but still limited. Since I plan to add a 5D soon it will be better to find the cash for a Canon 16-35mm 2.8. It's expensive it in the long run worth it.

Also check out the Sigma 12-24.

The range is perfect, but the speed won't make it. A 12-24mm 2.8 would be a killer lens.

I agree the speed of the lens makes it a lot more enticing if you need something fast. It is pretty much a prime lens, but I love it. It's weird and beautiful. I hope to have some stuff to post soon, so many things going on right now.

It won't, huh? That's good to know...

Maybe the correct statement should have been. A 12-24mm f4 is not as fast as I need for what I'm shooting.
