Tokina lenes

[John Foundas]

Anyone used the Tokina 16-50/2.8
On the af100?
I'm also looking at the 11-16.
Thoughts/experience?

I am waiting for my Tokina AT-X 270AF Pro 28-70mm 2.8 to arrive. I've heard good things about it.

I have the 11-16 and it's great. I have the Canon version so it will be better with the Birger mount. (That said, I may be switching my lenses to Olympus/Lumix). But the 11-16 is pretty and very wide.

Have both the 11-16 and 16-50 f/2.8 and still waiting for the Birger. Both are extremely sharp, though the 16-50 has the disadvantage of increasing physical length when zooming out to 50mm. I'll never use it as a zoom but still it takes a minute or two to adjust the Matte Box. Right now using a dumb Fotodiox adapter and adjusting exposure either by ND filters or changing ISO - the only way to find 1/2 stop adjustment is to use the 90 or 270 degree shutter.
