Tokina Opera 16-28mm f2.8

Tokina Opera lens 16-28mm | tokina objectives for nikon

Distinguished by its brilliant design, the opera TOKINA 16-28mm f/2.8 FF EF mounting CANON is a flexible wide-angle zoom suitable for landscape, architecture and astrophotography applications. The constant maximum aperture pairs of f/2.8 with the wide field of view range to achieve an ideal lens for working in available light conditions and for using shallow depth of field techniques. The optical design incorporates aspherical and low-dispersion glass elements, which help control distortion and color stripe throughout the zoom range to produce sharp, clear, and color-accurate images. A multiple coating was also applied to individual elements to suppress flare and the ghosting effect to improve contrast when working in bright, backlit light conditions. Complementing the optical design is a sophisticated focusing system, which uses a DC motor, a Silent Drive module, a GMR magnetic sensor, and an internal focus design to provide especially quiet and fast focusing performance to meet video and photo needs. A one-touch focus clutch mechanism also allows for quick switching between auto and manual focus settings. In addition, this 16-28mm f/2.8 sports a nine-leaf diaphragm to produce pleasant bokeh quality and has a built-in sunshade to protect the bulbous front element from stray light.

• The wide-angle zoom is designed for EF-mount full-frame CANON cameras, however, it can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an equivalent focal length range of 25.6 to 44.8mm.

• The constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 offers consistent performance and excellent light transmission throughout the zoom range.

• Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to obtain sharp images with accurate reproduction.

• The three glass-molded low-dispersion elements greatly reduce color stripes and chromatic aberrations to produce greater clarity and color accuracy.

• The bulbous front element contributes to low distortion and uniform illumination throughout the frame.

• Multi-coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress flare and ghosting to achieve greater contrast and colour fidelity when working in bright light conditions.

• A DC motor, along with a Silent Drive module, a GMR magnetic AF sensor and an internal focus design, delivers especially quiet, accurate and fast autofocus performance. In addition, a one-touch focus clutch mechanism allows switching between AF and MF modes simply by pressing the focus ring forward and backward.

• The built-in petal-shaped sunshade helps prevent diffused light from causing flashes and also offers some protection to the front lens element.

• The nine-blade diaphragm promotes pleasant out-of-focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field techniques.
