No significant signs of coma on this crop from extreme corner, but some CA presents.  LZ

So the image and crop, at f8.0. LZ

Due to high resistance to flare/inner reflections, color delivering is very true and consistent, as well as contrast/microcontrast, with very low vignetting for such wide lens.  Old, but very high quality lens, I believe. So two more images with crops. Please note, it is my own opinion on my copy of Tokina 17mm f3.5 PRO AF lens.  THX!   LZ

Honestly, I think that Tokina's lenses are undervalued.    I'm currently using their 11-17/2.8 and love what it produces.   I think they get overlooked because they do not have VR/VC/OIS in their lenses.


This is a nice showcase of that 17mm.   Thanks for sharing.

That Tokina was one of my favorite lenses back in the film days, where I used it with my Nikon FM and FM2.

When I switched to digital, it was with a D200 and the 14-24, so I never really saw the need to rebuy the Tokina lens. Maybe I should however. These photographs are highly inspirational and show the need for a 17mm lens in every photographers bag (I get by with Nikons 16mm f3,5 Fisheye these days. Sold the 14-24 a long time ago)
