About Tokina atx-m 11-18mm f/2.8

Under the umbrella of the atx-m series, the Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 E lens, designed exclusively for Sony E mount mirrorless cameras, offers superior optical performance at a cost-effective price. This lens, marked with the "m" for "motif" and "mirrorless," is a testament to Tokina's commitment to inspire photographers to capture unique and breathtaking images with mirrorless cameras.

As the first super wide-angle zoom lens in Tokina's product line-up, the atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 E lens boasts a fast f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range. This lens offers a versatile 11-18mm (17-27mm in 35mm equivalent) zoom, all housed in a compact and lightweight body, making it ideal for hybrid users who shoot both stills and video.

The compact design of the Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 E lens, weighing just 335g and measuring 74.1 mm in length, perfectly complements Sony E mount mirrorless cameras. Its compactness ensures seamless integration with gimbal systems, making it an excellent choice for filmmakers and vloggers.

The lens incorporates a sophisticated optical design with a balanced arrangement of 2 aspherical and 2 super low-dispersion (SD) glass elements. This design effectively suppresses chromatic aberrations, ensuring rich color reproduction, low distortion, and minimal light fall-off. The optical elements, including the front glass, are fully multi-coated with Tokina's proprietary blend formula to minimize ghosting and flares.

The fast f/2.8 aperture of the Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 E lens, coupled with its 9-blade rounded diaphragm, delivers smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights. Its short minimum focusing distance (MFD) of just 19cm at the widest end allows for unique wide-angle macro images with perspective effects.

The lens offers full compatibility with Sony E mount cameras' advanced features, including fast hybrid AF, Image Stabilization, Direct Manual Focus, MF Assist mode, Eye AF, and various optical corrections. It also incorporates a silent ST-M motor unit for fast and precise auto focusing operations in both still and video modes.

The Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 E lens also features a micro USB port, allowing users to update the lens' firmware using a USB (Type B) cable. The lens uses Super-low Dispersion glass, marked with the SD mark, to minimize the secondary spectrum caused by chromatic aberration, ensuring excellent image quality.

The lens employs an internal focusing system, which offers several advantages, including faster focusing, improved handling, more compact lens designs, and superior use of filters as the front filter thread does not rotate.

Finally, the lens elements are multi-coated using Tokina's unique coating technique to reduce or eliminate reflections, ensuring faithful color reproduction and rendering clean, sharp images. This makes the Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 E lens an excellent choice for a wide range of photography genres, including landscape, group photos, environmental portraits, architecture, astrophotography, automobile photography, street snaps, documentary videos, and vlogging.
