Tokina 11-16mm Focal Camera Lenses

View the World Through a Tokina 11-16 mm Wide-Angle Lens

Tokina is a Japanese optics manufacturer which produces specialist lenses for a range of camera brands. The Tokina 11-16 mm lens is a wide-angle lens with an increased peripheral vision that is designed to capture more of your surroundings, compared to regular lenses. Regardless of whether you're a novice, a hobbyist, or a professional photographer, eBay has a range of new and used lenses to suit your needs and budget.

All lenses have a designated 'mm' number which refers to how far away the rear lens is from the camera's image sensor. A smaller number correlates to a lower magnification capacity. Regular lenses have a focal length of approximately 50 mm, and a telephoto lens, which is used for zooming in on distant subjects, has a focal length of 300 mm or more. From a relative perspective, the Tokina wide- angle lens makes it appear as though the focal object is approximately twice as far away from you.

Yes. The Tokina 11-16 mm lens incorporates a f/2.8 aperture, allowing it to capture images at night-time and in low light settings. As a point of reference, a regular photograph is taken at approximately f/16. The aperture is the camera equivalent of the eye's pupil and it regulates light exposure to the camera's image sensor. A low f-number indicates that the aperture can open wide and allow more light to pass through.

Tokina variants exist for a wide range of brand-name cameras, giving you an affordable option over expensive brand-specific lenses. It also offers the following features:

• Minimal distortion when capturing images.
• Internal focus functionality so that nothing moves on the outside as you focus.
• A choice between automatic or manual focusing to suit the individual preferences of the photographer.
• Quiet small automatic focus adjustments so as not to disturb a subject.
• An unmoving focus ring during automatic activity, allowing stability maintenance during shooting.
• Fast autofocus capability as one movement will pull focus from infinity to 1.1 metre.
• Gear tooth alignment prevents an accidental switch between manual and automatic focus modes.
