Rent NowTokina AT-X 116 PRO DX-II 11-16mm f/2.8 Lens (Nikon F)
The Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX-II is a legendary ultra-wide-angle zoom designed specifically for Nikon APS-C (DX) DSLRs. Combining an expansive field of view with a fast constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens is a favorite for landscape, architectural, and interior photographers. This “DX-II” version features an integrated silent focusing motor and improved optical coatings, making it a powerful and versatile tool for capturing dramatic perspectives even in challenging low-light environments.
High-Speed Ultra-Wide Optics
Ultra-Wide Perspective: With an angle of view ranging from 104° to 84°, this lens allows you to capture massive vistas and tight interior spaces that standard zoom lenses simply cannot fit into the frame.
Constant f/2.8 Aperture: The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture remains consistent throughout the entire zoom range. This provides excellent low-light performance and allows for a shallower depth of field than typical wide-angle zooms.
Advanced Glass Elements: To ensure professional-grade results, the optical design includes two Super-Low Dispersion (SD) elements and two aspheric elements. These work together to provide excellent contrast and sharpness while minimizing chromatic aberrations.
Improved Multi-Coatings: This updated DX-II model features refined multi-layer coatings designed to drastically reduce light reflections, flare, and ghosting for cleaner, more accurate color.
Precision Handling & Compatibility
Internal Silent Focusing Motor: Unlike the original version, the DX-II includes a built-in AF motor. This allows for full autofocus functionality on all Nikon DX cameras, including entry-level bodies that lack an internal AF drive gear (such as the D3000 and D5000 series).
One-Touch Focus Clutch: Switch between AF and manual focus instantly by simply snapping the focus ring forward or back. This intuitive mechanism eliminates the need to fumble with switches on the camera body, allowing you to maintain your flow while shooting.
Close-Focusing Capability: With a minimum focus distance of just 11.8″, you can get close to foreground subjects to create a sense of scale and depth in your wide-angle compositions.
9-Blade Diaphragm: The nine-blade aperture design helps produce soft, natural out-of-focus backgrounds when working at close distances.
Included Accessories
Lens Hood: This lens comes with the dedicated petal-shaped hood to protect against stray light and provide extra physical defense for the front element.
