Rent NowTokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Lens (Nikon F-Mount)
High-Performance, Ultra-Wide Zoom with Constant f/2.8 Aperture
The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX is a legendary, award-winning ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed exclusively for crop-sensor Nikon DX-format DSLRs. Highly favored by landscape, architectural, interior, and astrophotographers, this lens pairs a dramatic wide-angle perspective with a fast, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. This continuous bright aperture delivers excellent available-light handling and greater control over depth of field across the entire zoom range.
Featuring Tokina’s robust, professional-grade AT-X chassis construction and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus highlights, this lens is a powerful creative tool engineered to extract dynamic, expansive perspectives from your Nikon DSLR setup.
WELL-USED CONDITION NOTE (INTERNAL DEBRIS & DUST)
Please read carefully regarding the optical and physical state of this specific lens before purchasing:
Internal Lint/Debris Particle: This lens is listed under Well-Used / Bargain Condition because there is a visible piece of hair/debris resting inside the middle optical group, alongside a moderate accumulation of standard internal dust.
Real-World Imaging Performance: This internal particle does not show up in your photographs. Extensive testing confirms that because the debris rests outside the lens’s native plane of focus, it cannot resolve onto your camera sensor. Your final images remain clear and artifact-free. However, please note that minor internal lens flare or a slight reduction in contrast may occur when shooting directly into intense, unshaded backlighting or bright studio grids.
Cosmetic Condition & Hood Missing: The exterior barrel shows clear signs of heavy field use, including surface scuffs, finish rubbing, and normal wear on the rubber grip rings. The mechanical zoom track and focus clutch ring remain fully functional. This unit does not include a lens hood.

Constant f/2.8 Speed & Pro-Tier Optical Construction
Dynamic Ultra-Wide Perspective: Provides a highly versatile 16.5-24mm equivalent focal range on Nikon DX-format sensors, making it an exceptional choice for emphasizing foreground scale, wide real estate interiors, and sweeping night skies.
Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: Maintains a bright, continuous f/2.8 opening throughout the zoom sweep. This allows you to maintain consistent exposure settings while zooming, facilitates clean handheld shooting in low light, and provides a bright, easy-to-focus image through your optical viewfinder.
Rounded Nine-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with a 9-blade rounded aperture array that produces smooth, natural background blur and transitions, giving out-of-focus specular highlights an organic, pleasing look.
Tokina One-Touch Focus Clutch: Features Tokina’s signature manual focus clutch mechanism. Snapping the focus ring forward engages autofocus, while pulling it back toward the camera chassis instantly shifts the lens into a tactile manual focus mode.
AUTOFOCUS COMPATIBILITY NOTE
In-Body AF Motor Required: This is the original version of the Tokina 11-16mm lens, which relies on a mechanical screwdriver gear interface to drive autofocus tracking.
Full Autofocus Support: Autofocus will function perfectly on any mid-to-high-tier Nikon DSLR equipped with a built-in mechanical AF drive motor (e.g., D70, D80, D90, D7000-series, D200, D300, D500, etc.).
Manual Focus Only Restriction: On entry-level Nikon DSLRs lacking an internal focusing motor (such as the D40, D60, D3000-series, and D5000-series), this lens will operate in Manual Focus only. All exposure metering and electronic communication remain fully supported.
