The 17mm Tokina arrived today.
I took a couple of shots this afternoon and on the plus side CA seems remarkably well controlled as is barrel distortion.
Sharpness seems okay, but I'd left the filter on and got slight flare in strong sun so need to reshoot. Corners look a little soft even at 5.6. I'll post samples soon. _________________ Richard

For those of you who haven't fallen asleep what do you think of this super-wide?
For the record build quality is very good, with smooth focusing and clear aperture stops. _________________ Richard

I'm happy enough with it for the Ł40 odd pounds I paid for it.
Chromatic Abberation control is very good to my eyes, and barrel distortion is goood for this width but...
F3.5 is quite soft, and whilst it's basically sharp enough at f5.6 it's not stunning, f8 is only slightly better - it's pretty good but not really great.
It's far from a bad performer, pretty good in many ways, but it doesn't really sing. _________________ Richard

Thanks!
I think the lens is a keeper for the moment on the grounds that when I need to go wider than my far better Nikkor 20mm there aren't many great alternatives (nikkor 18mm costs a fotune and doesn't really impress either). 3'll have to try it on on one of my film cameras it might do better there. Still it's not bad mid aperture for occasional use. _________________ Richard

Richard I support your thoughts on the value of this lens. You have a very usable piece for under $100. The fact is and it's been talked about in other threads. Super wide angle lenses for reflex cameras are always going to have compromises. Even lenses like the Zuiko 18mm 3.5 and Contax 15mm 3.5 at over 10X the price you paid are not perfect. |

Could be sample variation, or could be the difference between a Pentax sensor and my D200. I really don't think CA is a great problem with this lens - even at 5.6 I've got strong contrasts near the edge and can only detect a hint of CA. In terms of sharpness at f8 it's very useable but I couldn't describe it as excellent - something Patrick found with his.
The more I use it the happier I am - it's very useable at f8, and not bad at 5.6 - normally this wouldn't be great, but with such a short focal length it's not a problem. _________________ Richard

Anyway, I think this lens did pretty well for a super-wide, really! I even think it is a little better than my Cosina 3.8/20 and definitely better than my Hanimex 3.5/23 (although they are not as wide!).
Of course you will have some distortion! Of course, you will see some CA and perhaps not the perfect sharpness, but hey, we are not talking about a $800 lens!! It is an amazing piece of glass you got for a very good price! That's what's called "value"!

But if you insist, here is a FF lens for comparison. Although, note, tested on a crop camera once again (so the 'border' and 'extreme' (ie, corner) are directly comparable.

Chris - I'm beginning to wonder about these photozone tests. I can't comment on the 18-55 figures because I've only briefly used one, but I owned the 20 2.8 AFD (before selling it to buy the (IMO) superior 20 2.8 AIS) and I can't believe it had poorer MTF than the Tokina. _________________ Richard
