Tokina ATX-M 11-18mm f/2.8 Lens for Fujifilm X

Compact & Lightweight The Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 X features a lightweight (320g) and compact (overall length 74.4 mm) design to match Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. Despite the fact that this is a super wide angle lens, it is so small that it does not give a bulky feel, even when shooting with one hand. For Filmmaking and Vlogging The compactness of the Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 allows for superb integration with gimbal systems for filmmaking or vlogging. Optical Design The Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 incorporates a complex optical design with a well-balanced arrangement of 2 aspherical and 2 super low-dispersion (SD) glass elements to suppress chromatic aberrations and provide superb resolution from corner to corner, rich color reproduction, low distortion and low light fall-off. The lens shows reasonably balanced optical performance in both resolution, contrast and out of focus area quality characteristics. Especially, the lens allows the user to enjoy sharpness and natural spherical aberrations (bokeh) at the tele end of the focal length. Low Distortion Being a super wide angle lens, the Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 performs the lowest distortion, compared to other brands - a great feature for shooting interiors or architecture. Low Light Fall-Off The Tokina engineers struggle a lot to achieve the lowest light fall-off performance of atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 X lens compared to other competitors. This helps to achieve bright consistent sky colors and capture more stars in the night sky. Fast f/2.8 Aperture The Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 features a fast f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range for shallower depth-of-field, and 9 blades giving a rounded diaphragm for smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights. Close-up Shooting Short minimum focusing distance (MFD) is just 19cm at the widest end, providing advantages in creating unique wide-angle macro images with perspective effects. At an open aperture the image appears more dynamic and 3D looking with front and back bokeh. AF Performance The Tokina atx-m 11-18mm F2.8 incorporates a silent ST-M motor unit coupled with the lens position sensor for fast and precise auto focusing operations in still and video modes.
