Subject: Hi There!!!!
Hi There,

My name is Marlon and I'm looking to purchase the Tokina 16-28mm. I've joined NFG to learn more about the Tokina 16-28mm PRO FX lens. I'm scouting for MORE SOOC f/2.8 shots and distortion samples of this lens.

NFG, PLEASE POST THEM! the world wants to know more!!!!

Sincerely,
Marlon

Noooo, how dreadfully boring!  I'm taking pics of pretty girls and you want geometry?  I offer dimples and cleavage and long smooth legs and you want to pixel peep a brick wall?   Noooooo!!

Also hi.  Welcome.  ^_^
Just like NFG, but x 9!

MORE BRICK walls!

Well actually now that i think about it... cleavage is good too... can we do the boring stuff first and then deep cleavage after?

Well, it seems to me the lens is a little soft wide open, and one corner is a little soft while the rest crisps right up around F4.  I don't care about distortion, but that said I haven't noticed any.

It's just a hugely fun lens to pack around.  I love wide, and this on a full-frame camera is just awesome, awesome awesome. 

The worst thing is the occasional refusal to lock focus, but that rarely happens and is often in very poor light.  Not sure the Canon one will suffer the same way, but the fix on the Nikon is to just release and re-press the shutter so it starts the focus cycle again.

I might get into the city this weekend, which should give me a chance to get some architecture or something equally dull for you to peep.  But that's only if I can't find some cleavage instead.  =)

Sounds good...

ATM I've decided to cancel my preorder. I was hoping that this lens was sharp at f2.8, and but your standards - it just isnt. Thanks for letting me know.

I'll be waiting (and possibly be bugging you) for those distortion/brick shots.

Marlon

I love those Parkour shots here - i'll walk around and take a look at the other forums. :D
