Versatile Ultra-Wide Zoom. The Tokina 11-18mm f/2.8 ATX-M’s ultra-wide zoom range makes it excellent for shooting landscapes, cityscapes, and street scenes. It’s also ideal for movie-making applications, gimbal use, vloggers, and astrophotographers. This lens was designed for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras, on which it’ll give you a 16.5-27mm equivalent focal-length range.
Fast Aperture. The constant f/2.8 aperture is great for shooting in low light. It also offers superlative depth-of-field control for better subject-background isolation, while a nine-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasing bokeh.
High-Quality Optics. This lens’s eleven-group/thirteen-element design incorporates two SD low-dispersion elements and two aspherical elements that help minimize aberrations and distortion. Super Low Reflection Multi-Coatings on each of the lens elements reduce lens flare and ghosting for color accuracy, clarity, and contrast, while repelling water, oil, and debris.
Stepping-Motor Autofocus System. This fast, nearly silent autofocus system is ideal for both still and video shooting, and the all-metal focus unit gives you a dampened manual-focus feel for even greater precision. The internal-focusing design makes for especially quick autofocus performance, while guaranteeing the lens maintains its overall length while focusing.
Electronic Interface. The Tokina 11-18mm’s lens mount includes an electronic interface that transfers all EXIF data to the camera. It also means you can use in-camera functions like image stabilization, manual-focus assist, and eye autofocus.
