Tokina AT-X 11-16mm f/2.8 Pro DX II - unknown Mount

The AT-X 11-16mm f/2.8 Pro DX II is an updated version of Tokina's popular ultra-wide zoom for APS-C cameras. This Mark II version features an improved multi-coating for better flare resistance and, crucially for Nikon users, an internal silent drive motor allowing autofocus on entry-level bodies. The fast f/2.8 aperture makes it a preferred choice for low-light interiors and astrophotography, where its sharpness across the frame is highly regarded. When sourcing a used copy, verify the autofocus motor operation, particularly on the Nikon mount version. SDS checks for any signs of decentring, which can occasionally affect ultra-wide lenses. The focus clutch mechanism should engage and disengage cleanly. We also examine the front and rear elements for any coating damage or cleaning marks that could impact contrast in backlit situations.
