Works decent...but I wish I would have gotten the Nikkor version. Difficult focus in low light...not as sharp of picture quality I need for shooting landscape and lightning.

I got some great shots out of this, but quite a few "soft" shots. At larger apertures it is "soft" - need to go down to f8 for good edge to edge sharpness. I seriously wonder that I may have a one-off duff instance as other customers rate it well. Will check and update this review.

Tokina's latest version of this classic wide angle optic for Canon or Nikon APS-C format DSLRs sports a fast, smooth autofocus motor in addition to the constant f/4 maximum aperture and costs around £500.

With the increasing popularity of digital SLRs with smaller than full frame digital sensors, there has come the demand for wide angle lenses specifically designed for this format. The Tokina AT-X 124 Pro DX 12-24mm is one of several new lenses intended to fit that need.

Like most Tokina lenses, this is an awesome lens for the money. It's only real weakness is a very moderate amount of CA, which is almost unavoidable with UWA lenses. As the official review says, stopping down clears up the softness at the long end, and the short end is amazing.
