Rent NowTokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Lens (Nikon F-Mount)
The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX is a legendary, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens engineered specifically for APS-C format (DX) Nikon F-mount DSLRs. Highly celebrated by landscape, interior architectural, and night-sky astrophotographers, this lens combines an expansive ultra-wide field of view with an ultra-bright, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. Built with Tokina’s signature tank-like professional construction, this lens delivers exceptional optical contrast, dramatic perspective compression, and elite low-light performance that handles tight spaces and expansive night vistas with equal ease.
CONDITION NOTE
Well-Used / Fully Functional Wide Kit: This lens is being listed in Well-Used condition. It exhibits clear cosmetic signs of handling and previous field use on the exterior barrel and rubber grip rings.
Functional Status: Mechanical zoom mechanisms, the manual focus clutch, and optical systems have been thoroughly tested and are operating perfectly.
Accessories Included: Ships complete with standard front and rear lens caps, alongside the original dedicated matching petal-shaped plastic lens hood to block stray flare.
Autofocus Compatibility Warning: This is a first-generation mechanical gear-drive lens. It requires a Nikon camera body with an internal autofocus motor (such as the D90, D7000-series, D300, D500, etc.) to utilize autofocus. It will function strictly as a manual-focus lens on entry-level bodies lacking an AF motor (such as the D3000-series or D5000-series).
Constant f/2.8 Aperture & Ultra-Wide Versatility
Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: Maintains a bright f/2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range. This allows for consistent exposure settings while zooming, facilitates exceptional shallow depth-of-field separation for an ultra-wide lens, and makes it a premier choice for capturing the Milky Way without star trailing.
Short, Distortion-Controlled Zoom Range: The targeted 11-16mm ultra-wide focal spectrum is optimized to deliver maximum optical resolution with minimal geometric barrel distortion, keeping straight architectural lines beautifully square.
Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with a nine-blade aperture geometry to produce smooth, soft, and natural out-of-focus background areas alongside sharp, clean, multi-pointed sunstars when stopped down.
Professional Handling & Rugged Ergonomics
One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism: Features Tokina’s classic, intuitive focus ring design. Shooters can seamlessly snap the entire focus ring forward for rapid autofocus, or snap it back toward the camera body to instantly engage a highly dampened, precise mechanical manual focus mode.
Heavy-Duty Barrel Assembly: Built to professional AT-X standards, featuring a rugged housing designed to withstand demanding outdoor field applications while protecting internal glass alignments.
77mm Front Filter Thread: Uses a standard 77mm filter thread diameter, allowing you to easily mount circular polarizers, protective UV filters, or deep neutral density glass for long-exposure daytime photography without heavy vignetting.
