Great value, great IQ, just too front heavy for my application. Swapped it for an RF 16mm f/2.8.

I have been dreaming about the day I could buy and switch to this Lens. And it did not disappoint. Having been doing Real Estate and Architectuaral Photos for 5 years now on a D5500 and a Crop 10-20mm lens and switching to this and a D750 has been a game changer. My photos come out crisp and full of detail. I can not believe the difference and my clients noticed too.

I use these on my Nikon Z5s with an FTZ adapter, and Nikon DSLRs as well. The quality can't be beat for the price, with results comparable to the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, but at only a fraction of the cost. This has been my goto lens for interior real estate photography for many years, and this newer Opera line from Tokina doesn't disappoint. However, I wouldn't recommend this lens for anything outside as it, as well as the OEM lenses it competes with, has a bulbous front element, making it very prone to flair. Focus is fast, even when using the FTZ adapter on Nikon Z bodies. Built like a tank, heavy, but stays on a tripod for photographing real estate interiors.

Super sharp with my D850, but oddly very soft on my D750 (to the point where it's almost unusable). I also threw it on my D500 out of curiosity and it's very soft with that also.

Love it right out of the box. Great clarity. I have always been impressed with the TOKINA PRODUCT. The price is very good and the picture quality is amazing. The picture I added is just off my back porch due to the pandemic and Michigan is very high in cases.

Good lens for the price; sharp and fast. Adorama always offers the best deals. Wish it started wider even with shorter range, say 14-18mm F/2.8.

Overall great lens except for the flare as is common for Tokina wide angle lens. If you can deal with that is a great lens and it takes sharp images.

A lot of glare in the night. Heavy in weight. Though those are all minor issues considering the price tag.

Tokina makes incredible lenses. Adorama provides EXCELLENT customer service. That about sums it up! This is my second 16-28 from Tokina. This is the newest version for my Canon mount. I own many Canon L lenses but this one is sharp enough and responsive enough to keep me using Tokina in this focal range. The only issue (and its not a deal breaker) is that there is no way to attach a filter, specifically a CP or ND filter which I like to use in this range. However, there is a work-a-round but you sacrifice with some vignetting. Overall, excellent build quality. Excellent optical quality. Sharpness and color rendition is excellent. I would definitely recommend this lens to any of my friends and colleagues looking for a great ultra-wide lens.

Bought this lens as an upgrade for real estate videography. Cheaper options couldn't perform like I wanted, but this has been awesome.

Muy bueno pero un poco suave no es tan sharp

I was reluctant to purchase the Tokina Opera, wanted to hold out for the Tamron 15-30mm G2, but when it went on sale for half the price of the Tamron I went for it. I could not be happier with the purchase. The glass is sharp. The images are great. The lens is quick to focus. If I had to find one complaint it would have to be lack of vibration control (hasn’t been an issue yet) and it is my loudest focusing lens (but that really doesn’t bother me). Great buy.

I've been testing it for a few days with a Nikon D810. The first thing that is noticeable is the weight, which for the photography I take is good for architecture but a bit heavy for sports. The almost absence of barrel effect and its sharpness even in 2.8 impressed me. Very good lens for such a low cost.

I have been testing the characteristics of this lens for 3 days with a Nikon D810. When I received it and took it out of the box I noticed that it was heavy, something characteristic of quality lenses. When testing it in indoor photography in f16 I noticed the almost absence of barrel effect, which makes it easier for me to edit my photos. Great sharpness and focus even at 2.8. So far I like this lens especially for the price, which went down for the holidays at 100 dollars, A great lens at a very low price

This product for its price is phenomenal! Its quick to focus and very responsive. I recommend to any one looking for good glass at a great price.

A great lens, but somewhat heavy and does not have image stabilization built in.

I bought this lens since I owned Tokina 28-70 2.8 which was sharper than my Nikon 24-70 but with a lot of flares and ghosting. This lens is no exception, it's sharp but the flares and ghosting seams to be part of every source of light. The AF is OK,
