Tokina atx-i 11-20mm f/2.8 CF Lens is now officially announced. The US price of the lens is $529, and it is available for pre-order at B&H, Adorama.
The Tokina atx-i 11-20mm f/2.8 CF is designed as an ultra wide angle zoom lens for Canon & Nikon APS-C DLSR cameras. Focal length 11-20mm that covers equivalent angle of wide prime 18mm, 21mm, 24mm, 28mm lenses makes this lens attractive to be chosen after standard zoom lens or initially possessed wide angle zoom kit lens.
“atx-i” is a new series created by Tokina, and “i” means interactive (two-way dialogue between the photographer and the lens). The atx-i is a lens series that picks up a unique model from the AT-X series and reviews its appearance, performance, and price to fit the latest DSLR lens. The first lenses in the new atx-i range – the Tokina atx-i 100mm f/2.8 Macro and Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 DX lens were launched last year.
Optical Performance
To achieve an exceptional optical performance required for ultra wide angle zoom lens 3 aspherical glass elements and 3 Super-Low Dispersion glass elements were used in order to minimize distortion, manage spherical aberration and astigmatism while achieving excellent edge-to edge resolution and high contrast through the entire image.Anti-reflective multi-layer coating improves light transmission and minimizes reflections while newly applied water-repellent coating makes wiping and cleaning the surface of the front glass element easier.
