Tokina Fisheye 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 DX lens review with samples (Full-frame and APS-C)

- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Here we have a strange old lens - originally designed as a Fisheye zoom lens for APS-C cameras (!) it's also useful as a Fisheye lens on full-frame. How does it perform on either kind of camera? Can a 9 year-old lens perform on 20-24mp cameras?

Thank you for another excellent review!
Yah been waiting for this review
I have the Canon 8-15mm Fisheye, and use it both a FF camera and Crop. The zoom ability is fantastic and makes the lens quite useful on both cameras. This lens looks like a great budget alternative.
Good job .Educational and interesting.
It's very nice and polite review thankyou！
Great stuff like always. You teach me a lot. Cheers from Warsaw.
congratulations on 80,000 subscribers
Thanks!
i had this lens for so long.. since my 40D, And then to my 5D mark ii , so what i did, is shaving the build-in hood (very carfuly) and then with full frame sensor i got a clean shot at 13mm
Thanks for the tip!
Did it get worse flaring after that?
@@gaborkiss1425 not really.. i since moved to sony and sold this lens to my friend. Still using it.
I used the Pentax version of this for a bit, quite happy with the results, very close closest focus distance, can do a lot with it. This was on my Pentax K10D and Pentax K-x.
great review...thanks alot
Bought this lens in my more naive days, with practice I've learnt how to use it as an ultra wide angle by getting my horizon in the middle of the lens. Definitely a lens you need to practice with not to get the stretching in the corners but can't say I ever got any chromatic aberrations with it. Not a lens that comes out of the bag too often and you can only use Cokin P series filter from about 14mm. Not a lens I would recommend, but strangely I haven't parted with mine.
Good review (As always).
I was wondering:
Will you review the Sigma Comtemporary 150-600mm ?
(please say yes)
thank you
"Its design is a bit grimly functional" - perfect description :D
Chris do you think you'll get your hands on the new Samyang 85mm f/1.2? I was keen on the 135mm but now the 85mm has me interested!
One of the best lenses for Close Focus Wide Angle (CFWA) underwater photography with APS-C cameras.
Hi Chris, thank you for review. I saw the Turkish book incidentally. I can help you in learning Turkish :)
Love your videos dude,
really cool and inspirational. You really know how to give someone a bad case
of Gear Acquisition Disorder commonly known as GAS ;-) Here is a tip for you on two really weird lens:
The Vivitar Series-1 Q-DOS
(Anaglyph lens) a old school 3D lens from the late 80s.
And the Vivitar Series-1 19-35mm MC.
A generic piece of plastic that was sold under a bunch of names but has now
apparently gained a “cult following”.
Anyway, sorry for the wall
of text, keep up the brilliant work!
Hmm, maybe one day!
Thank you.
bro what about mount with mft olympus? fisheye result
This is the best crappy (by today's standards) lens I've ever owned! Noisy focus, tragic fringing, but I liked it so much!
I have almost bought this lens several times for my 6D. I have had the Rokinon 8mm a few years ago and it was interesting (and fun to play with), but it wasn't the lens I would regularly pull out. If I can find one really cheap I will probably get it and dremel off the hood, otherwise I will probably get the Rokinon 12mm sometime in the future.
The 12mm is the better lens :-)
Very good lens but can I get more video lesson for this fish eye lens like Bryan Peterson ?
I'm interested now, I recently bought the Canon 10-18mm lens. Will that have the same field of view as the 10mm fisheye? Or narrower?
The fisheye lens will have a much wider field of view, visible in the corners, but the trade-off is the barrel distortion
Christopher Frost Photography I thought as much. What role does the focal length have in a fish eye, then? Could you conceivably have a 50mm fish eye lens with as wide a field of view again?
Thanks for the reply, Chris :)
It seems to be whatever a manufacturer feels is correct according to the field of view it provides. A classic example is the Samyang 12mm fisheye lens, for full-frame cameras. A typical fisheye lens (capturing a 180 degree view diagonally from corner to corner) would be classed as 15mm, on a full-frame camera. But Samyang labelled their fisheye lens as being 12mm, because although it also captures a 180 degree view diagonally from corner to corner, it has a special projection that captures a lot more field on the vertical and horizontal axis as well. Which is why it's one of my favourite fisheye lenses - it has that unique projection.
Hay Chris. Tokina lens 10-17mm fisheye is compatible with Nikon D7200.?
If you get the Nikon version, yes
Thanks -- curious as to why you refer to it as a 'copy' a few times? Is it not authentic?
I don't mean like a 'fake copy'. I mean one of the many thousands of copies that came from the Tokina factory.
I see -- thanks for the reply. (And the video).
Hi Cristopher, I Don't speak english, but I am helping myself with the Google translator.... Which lens is better? This or Samyang 8 mm? I have Apsc camera.
I would go for the Samyang lens :-)
@@christopherfrost Does that work on full frame as well?
Is the image quality at least that good that this lens?
(I saw samples of the Tokina pictures, and they look amazing to me.)
great video as always. samyang 8mm still my favourite fisheye lens for my APS-C Canon 70D :D
by the way, if you don't mind. could you review the sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 chris? i'm still not sure what to buy. the sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 or the sigma 50-100mm f/1.8
i'm not sure which is better for the money.
The 50-100 is next on my list! I should be looking at a copy of it next week (hopefully)
great. thanks a lot chris. i really appreciate it :D
Can I mount this with my Nikon D3200? Please reply 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
no only with a mount
I have a Canon 600d, I now have money to buy a Canon 17-55mm - 2.8
I plan to do Wedding Photos, Portraits, Landcape etc. for extra income.
Should I just save more money and buy a Fullframe ?
or the 600d with 17-55mm 2.8 lens is enough for Pro uses. ?
The 17-55 would be very nice for wedding photos, but yes, I think if you want to do professional work you should get a Canon 6D at least (aside from anything else, it has a lovely quiet shutter mode)
thanks for the reply :)
You should try the Tokina 17mm AT-X Pro 17mm f3.5
how can you hack off the lens hood PLEASE HELP
I have no idea. Probably not
I have 600D with Sigma 18-35 f1.8, Sigma 18-250 and Canon 50mm f1.8 . I want to upgrade my DSLR but I don't know which one I should buy. I have two options. 1- Selling all my APS-C equipment and buying a 6D with 24-105 kit lens, or buying 80D and continue to using my equipment. What should I do ?
I recommend you to buy the 80D because you can get an adaptor that gives full frame perspective on an APS-C camera. Low light performance is better on the 6D but 80D is more useful (Touchscreen, articulating screen, smaller and lighter body, faster burst etc.). And remember if you're planning to buy a new gear, always look for better lenses rather than looking for better camera bodies because lenses play a bigger role in image quality.
Personally I would consider the 6D and 24-105 (but keep the 50mm f/1.8, definitely). It's up to you at the end of the day but...I'm a huge fan of the 6D and the 24-105 is a very nice (but not perfect) lens
Los Angaras You have not said what type of photography you like doing, and that is the biggest factor in deciding what type of camera you buy. If you are interested in portrait or landscape photography I'd go full frame every time, the low light abilities and shallower depth of field are much better on the ff. If you are interested in wildlife or sport go cropped sensor, they bring you much closer to the action, so although not really mathematically correct a 600mm lens becomes 960mm on a ASP-C. I do mainly landscape and wildlife so, like Christopher, I have both ff(5DIII) and APS-C(7DII) and I wouldn't rush into selling one type of sensor for the other but possibly consider having both. I know Christopher doesn't necessarily agree because you lose some separation in your images, but you also save on lenses, buy a 20mm for the full frame and you have your 20mm on your ff and when you put it on your ASP-C it is in effect a 32mm lens.
A touch of ghosting? Not surprising when you are taking a photo of a grave yard.
Hehe
Spirits will haunt the ghosts away, just keep drinking them till said ghosts erm, give up the ghost.
why dun we use a 24mm for a full frame XD
Hi. I am considering a used 10-17 Tokina. Seller is asking $400.00 CDN$. Thanks for review.
review the New Tokina 14-20mm f/2.0 PLEASE!!!
I'd love to but it'll be tricky to get hold of one without paying full price. I could ask Tokina to send me one for testing but with all my bad reviews of their lenses they might be disinclined to!
cant you just rent one? Or buy one off amazon and return it after you are done, because free amazon returns
2:15 now i want to see this lens in a gfx body
This is an effect you don't get even with even the newest smartphone cameras...at least not in quality like this (if using a fisheye accessory lens for the phone).
So, I can mount this on my Canon 5D MII?
As you can see in the review, yes, you can fit the lens onto a full-frame camera
Wow thanks ^_^
Plz recommend me a DSLR about 800 dollars....need ur answer....plzzzzz reccomend
Canon 70D or 70D
Not a good place to test an fisheye
R.I.P Wall
wouldn't buy this at any price.
Good review (As always).
I was wondering:
Will you review the Sigma Comtemporary 150-600mm ?
(please say yes)
thank you
Apparently it offers virtually the same picture quality as the Tamron 150-600
Ok thank you :)
