Honestly, I often watch your videos, although I don't own the particular camera system, just because they are so relaxing. You have such a calm and refreshing attitude, that it's always a delight!
If you can find the tamron for around the same price go for it. I bought mine for 550 used and it’s amazing. Right now its going for 650 for brand new, it’s a $180 discount, so if you want brand new the tamron gives you a longer focus length and weather sealing for $50 more than the tonika. If it’s not discounted, then buy the tonika.
Hello Christopher. 3:19 you're saying in-camera correction is on, but it's huge distortion. Does Sony correction really work with Tokinas? Seems it doesn't
I noticed this too, but forgot to mention it. It looks like the distortion is actually being OVER-corrected here as it's flipped into pincushion. This should be something Tokina can fix in the lens's firmware. Grateful for your comment - it's something I forgot to mention in the video
@@christopherfrost thank you Christopher. Let's believe it can be fixed with new lens firmware. In Nikon system all lens profiles are stored in cameras, so lens manufacturers are unable to fix such issues. Not sure how it's done in Sony.
I'm curious if they'll bring out a Fuji X-mount version of this lens. If it's optically at least as good as the Fuji 10-24mm f/4 then the Tokina would be a strong contender! Since it doesn't cover a very large zoom range, I'm hopeful the image quality will be pretty OK when compared to the Fuji 10-24mm which is not so great at the corners and edges, in my opinion.
Which one would you suggest for video? If the price of Tamron 11-20 mm f2.8 and Tokina 11-18 mm are same. 2 mm doesn't bother me. I am worried about Focus Breathing. Thank you.
Well, but the Tamron 11-20mm is on the way. Still don't know why Tokina went to Sony E-mount - throwing the lens into the ring against multiple Sony lenses (10-18, 10-20, wide primes) and with Tamron 11-20 already established. On Fuji it would have had an release time advantage over Tamron and would go only against Fuji 10-24 (8-16 is in a another league) with size, aperture and price advantage.
great efforts. I am frustrated by the lack of options when it comes to ultrawide lenses for Sony full frame.. when calling things correctly- ultrawide are not 17mm nor 16mm .. ultrawide for me is wider than 16 mm .. so, in this range, we only have 1 lense from sigma and one very pricey gmaster from sony .. and unfortunately, I can’t see any roadmap for lenses to know how long shall I wait..
So every review I have watched from you on wide angle zooms you complain of weak corner sharpness. What wide angle zoom lens that starts at 11 or 12mm is sharp in the corners at f2.8 or f4
I thought about buying the Tokina, that quickly ended when I got to know, that it hasnt any weather sealing which the Tamron has. Too bad. Other than that a really nixe lens from Tokina
i read that tokina 11 18 is better than sigma and tamron 11 20 but the only problem with this lens is that flares alot. and i watched couple videos about it
Comparing it section by section with your Tamron 11-20 2.8 review, seems that the Tammy completely destroys this, starting with its huge sharpness from 2.8. But it evens out when you factor in the price and size difference. th-cam.com/video/OZqKe6-zTOw/w-d-xo.html

He's british, and has a very british voice.
That's the brit secret
Same. So much better than most other camera/lens review videos

Ok...how does it look in Full Frame & how far do i have to zoom to get rid of vignette?...

Sure would like to see this on X mount
Same here!

Congratulation in the 300000!

Wider than 16 seems very niche on all systems though. For APSc, that would be 10/11mm, like this one here, and there isn’t anything wider either.
@@LuLeBe Laowa said hold my beer....
Did you test it on full frame throughout the zoom range? The Sony 10-18mm f4 vignettes hard at the wide end but cleans up on the middle
Will this lens work in full frame mode?
how's the full frame coverage at 18mm?
Unlike the Tokina the Tamron is weather sealed and it seems to be sharper, not only on the long end. At least my copy.
So every review I have watched from you on wide angle zooms you complain of weak corner sharpness. What wide angle zoom lens that starts at 11 or 12mm is sharp in the corners at f2.8 or f4
whys the zoom turning the wrong direction?
If they made this for Fuji, I’d hop on it in a jiffy
Can you review the x100v or Olympus lenses. Thanks! Love your channel
I thought about buying the Tokina, that quickly ended when I got to know, that it hasnt any weather sealing which the Tamron has.
Too bad. Other than that a really nixe lens from Tokina
Hola me gustaria que probara la lente Meike 50mm f0.95
Does it work on sony fx30?
How does it compare to Sigma 10-18 F2.8
i read that tokina 11 18 is better than sigma and tamron 11 20 but the only problem with this lens is that flares alot. and i watched couple videos about it
Where did you read that it is better
Does 2mm zoom difference make much difference?
On the wide end absolutely but on the zoomed in end not much of a difference.
Tamron 11-20 2,8 is the better choice.
Love the vids
Another lens option that will never see RF mount
That's why you buy into a mount that already offers all the lenses you might need. Not the lenses you're hoping to get one day!
I have this for sale for crop sensors
Comparing it section by section with your Tamron 11-20 2.8 review, seems that the Tammy completely destroys this, starting with its huge sharpness from 2.8.
But it evens out when you factor in the price and size difference.

The Tokina has much better micro-contrast. I for one like Tokina colors much more than Tamron colors.
