[CaptivateProduction]

Tokina 11-16mm Lens is GREAT!! you guys should check out my time lapse i did using that lens. very solid lens and offers sharp images.

[Bdett1982]

Hi Dom, thank for your review. I have a question and hope you will answer it. I'm using this lens with my D90 and I found a problem with Back Focusing every times when I select the corner area of the focus point.. My friend got this lens too but it mounted with D300 and found no problem after all.. I swap this lens with my friend and thinking maybe I got a bad copy, but it still remain the same.. and my friend got no problem when using my lens. Sorry for my bad English..Thank you..

would this lens be good for car photography???

[yantan1123]

can I ask for your comment and thoughts with regards to Tokina 11-16 Vs. Canon EF-S 10-22 on Canon 60D,, having a lot of confusions,, thanks so much!:D 

[ParkourSchweiz]

@yantan1123 I own a canon 60d and bought the canon ef-s 10-22 and after a week i had the chance to put the tokina 11-16 on and after that i never touched the canon again.

[DrPillowPaper]

@ParkourSchweiz I have the canon 60d as well and I was considering the canon 10-22 or the tokina 11-16, why would you say that you would rather have the tokina over the canon? It'd be appreciated if you could tell me why you chose that one. :)

[ParkourSchweiz]

@DrPillowPaper Well my passion is photographing the night sky and with the tokina you can go down to 2.8f which realy makes a huge diffrence when you shoot astro. Also for videos in dark places the tokina was better than the canon. The sharpeness is pretty much the same also i think...i didnt test that but just from my pictrues there is not much of a diffrence...maybe in the corners the canon was a little sharper but not much.

[DrPillowPaper]

@ParkourSchweiz Alright, thanks for replying :)

[TehHelpStation]

[atyl1972]

dom pls help, i am fter a camera to restart photography back up, i'm kinda like a intermediate beginner if you like, was thinking of the new d7000 nikon and maybe the tokina 12-24mm or maybe even the 11-16mm from tokina also, mainly i will be shooting landscapes, pls advise as i am even thinking of the new sony nex5 interchangeable lens camera that offers like dslr quality, what do you think?

[Dombowerphoto]

@atyl1972 dont be silly, sony nex. fine for a party but you aint going to see any land scape photographer whipping one of those out on the hill and attaching to their tripod

[atyl1972]

@Dombowerphoto from the videos i have seen already the sony is like for like against mid range dslr's for sure, yeah the size is small but it does have a same size sensor as a dslr and far better at low light photography, and when you think of the cost is your ego really that much to not save like £800??

[denizio20]

what i dint get is . Is this lens not meant for landscape did any one notice how stretched the poor girls face was :)

[Dombowerphoto]

@denizio20 you never use a wide angle for portraits? your missing out.

[Chinook249]

I swear it's sharper in iPhoto (1:35) than without (1:31)

[Dombowerphoto]

@Chinook249 thats cos one is the compressed video from imovie version and the other is actual iphoto quality

[DustinBodenVEVO]

your using a speedlight... with a beauty dish..... and to top it off..... ad super tiny soft box.... for what reason now???

[Dombowerphoto]

@DustinBodenVEVO if you watch my first video on this channel you would know the answer

[manhlinhto]

Hi Dom, thank for your review. I have a question and hope you will answer it. People said that this lens has a serious problem with Chromatic Aberration. Do you find this problem with your lens and how about it? Thank you

[Dombowerphoto]

@manhlinhto do you see that problem in the video?

[snappuppy]

lol quality.

Mate you want to get a proper softbox instead of that toy one :D

[PracticalGuitar]

What you shooting with? I have a 550d and looking to get an external flash,are there some flash's out there that can be triggered with my built in flash as the trigger as I still want the camera flash as the front light source and the external flash from side on,just like in this video? I'm new to external flash so any help would be great.

[PracticalGuitar]

@PracticalGuitar Also how do you work out how to allow for the light of the flash, as in how to work out the amount of exposure without taking tonnes of attempts?

[Dombowerphoto]

@PracticalGuitar NIkon flash system is amazing its ttl metering is all automatic, but if you want to use an external flash you can use any kind of flash as a slave flash, just meaning it fires when it sees a flash as well.

ill explain on the blog

[rickjbradbury]

This cracked me up this morning, thanks Kim and Dom. for the entertaining and informative video. I have been considering a ultra wide for my Canon 500D and looking at Sigma 10-20 , Canon 10-22 (pricey) and the Tokina. Rick

[DepressedSod]

thanx, I'm actually thinking of getting this lens for my 7D (mostly to use for film)

[Dombowerphoto]

@DepressedSod i would say go for it, i cant complain and for video it is super. check the links in the blog to see if i managed to find a discount

[ngvgnDOTcom]

You film this video with your Canon T2i or 550 Her shirt is moire issues in the video. I know 1080p has less moire and aliasing issues then 720p.

[Dombowerphoto]

@ngvgnDOTcom the canon t2i is the same as the 550d

[TheiGhoest]

thanks you so much, dom!

[hamsterminator]

OMG KIM stop laughing! Amateur ;)

[kid0M]

[360mix]
