Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye Lens Review Underwater Photography Guide +1

The Tokina 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Fisheye lens is a highly popular variable-aperture lens, serving as the top choice for Canon and Nikon cropped-sensor underwater dSLR shooters due to its immense framing flexibility. Weighing 377 grams, this compact lens boasts an incredibly close working distance of just one inch from the front glass and yields a massive diagonal angle of view spanning from 180 degrees at 10mm down to 100 degrees at 17mm. Its standout underwater advantages include exceptional performance behind both small and large dome ports, and a remarkable capability to take close-focus wide-angle macro photographs at 17mm, allowing users to capture tiny subjects almost touching the dome while maintaining a vast background view. However, the lens does have notable drawbacks, such as prominent barrel distortion that curves lines and a lack of a built-in filter holder, meaning users must rely on custom workarounds to attach filters for natural light shots. Optically, while it is recognized as a very sharp lens, it cannot quite match the peak image quality delivered by alternative prime fisheye lenses, which some professionals still prefer. Additionally,...

Review Tokina 10-17 mm Fisheye (N APS-C) focus-review.com

The Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 Fisheye (AT-X 107 DX) is a compact, solidly built full-screen fisheye zoom lens designed primarily for APS-C (DX) format cameras, though the tested "NH" version lacks a sun cap and can be used on full-frame bodies from a 12mm focal length without mechanical vignetting. Key advantages of this unique lens include its fast internal auto-focus, remarkably low vignetting on DX sensors (especially when stopped down to f/5.6 or f/8.0), and excellent resistance to backlighting with minimal flaring. It is highly popular for underwater and aerial photography due to its lightweight nature and incredibly wide, nearly 180-degree field of view. However, the lens does suffer from notable drawbacks, including high chromatic aberration at sharp contrast edges, a drop in sharpness at longer focal lengths, and moderate corner sharpness. Additionally, it lacks a built-in AF motor—requiring manual focus on entry-level Nikon bodies like the D3200 or D5200—and its physical construction prevents the attachment of front filters. While the deliberate 32% fisheye distortion is massive, it serves as the primary creative appeal of the lens, which ultimately offers a...

The Tokina AF 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 AT-X DX Fisheye is a unique, dedicated APS-C format zoom lens developed through a cooperation between Tokina and Pentax. Breaking the traditional fixed focal length rule for fisheye optics, it offers a dramatic field-of-view ranging from a diagonal 180 degrees at 10mm to 100 degrees at 17mm. The lens features a tough, all-metal body construction with smooth control rings and a special Water Proof (WP) coating on the front element to repel fingerprints and water spots. The core pros highlighted in the review include its superb build quality, smooth and well-damped mechanical rings, and a compact design that manages a highly unique zoom range. Additionally, its uncorrected perspective provides a stunning visual effect that can be manually flattened later using software tools. On the downside, the cons focus heavily on its mechanical and physical limitations: the lens lacks an internal autofocus motor, meaning it relies on a noisy camera-driven screw drive and completely lacks autofocus functionality on lower-end camera bodies without built-in motors. Furthermore, its bulging front element makes it completely impossible to mount standard...

The ⁠LensTip review of the Tokina AT-X 107 DX AF Fish-Eye 10-17 mm f/3.5 f/4.5 outlines a unique, highly capable ultra-wide zoom lens tailored for APS-C/DX format digital cameras. Evaluated by reviewer Arkadiusz Olech, the lens provides an exceptional field of view spanning from 180 to 100 degrees. It is highly praised for its sturdy build quality, precise and smooth zoom ring, and effective autofocus performance that runs quickly and quietly with minimal errors. Optically, the lens exhibits excellent control over flare and ghosting, remaining clean even when dealing with direct sunlight and strong point sources of light. Furthermore, it showcases decent image clarity in the center of the frame within the 14–17 mm focal range alongside reasonably well-managed levels of coma and vignetting. However, the lens suffers from clear optical drawbacks, most notably its weak image resolution at the widest 10 mm focal length setting. At 10 mm, the image quality is very poor unless stopped down heavily to an aperture of f/8 or f/11. The lens also demonstrates visible astigmatism at this ultra-wide setting and is hindered by...

The Radojuva review characterizes the Tokina AT-X 107 AF DX Fisheye 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 as a versatile, compact, and solidly built zoom lens designed for DX cameras, offering a 180-degree field of view, close-focusing capabilities, and a Water Repellent front coating. It is noted for functioning as a "hidden gem" on full-frame sensors from 14.5mm to 17mm and for its excellent, fun performance, despite having some limitations. YouTube · Key disadvantages noted include severe chromatic aberrations at the frame edges and weak corner sharpness, which necessitates stopping down the aperture to f/8-f/11. Additionally, the lens lacks an internal focus motor, meaning it cannot autofocus on entry-level Nikon bodies, is physically noisy, and cannot accept standard front filters due to its bulbous design.

Review: Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 DX Fisheye on Full-Frame

The Nikon-Fotografie forum review tests the Tokina AF Fisheye 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 DX on a full-frame (FX) body, noting it can fill the entire frame from 14mm onward. While physically removing the lens hood allows for a nearly circular image at 10mm, the lens is praised for its surprising versatility in delivering a 180-degree diagonal view on an unsupported format. However, the review highlights drawbacks, specifically blue-violet chromatic aberrations and significant softness at the extreme edges of the frame, especially when shooting wide open. To achieve usable image quality at these edges, the reviewer advises stopping down the aperture by two full stops.

Summary of the review

Review of the Tokina AT-X 107 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 fisheye DX (if)

Despite its strong performance, the lens has several physical and optical drawbacks. Because of its bulbous fisheye design, the front element lacks a filter thread, and there is no rear filter holder, completely ruling out the use of physical filters. Manual focus enthusiasts may find the focus ring's short 60-degree throw a bit limiting, and the lens does not allow full-time manual focus override unless the physical switch is toggled to MF. Lighting also presents a challenge; using the camera's built-in flash creates a prominent, unsightly shadow at the bottom of the image caused by the lens barrel blocking the light. Even an external flash struggles to provide uniform coverage across the massive 180-degree field of view at 10mm unless the flash head is manually adjusted or paired with multi-flash setups. Finally, the reviewer notes that the field of view is slightly tighter on Canon APS-C bodies (around 169.7° to 172.1° diagonally) compared to the full 180° achieved on Nikon DX sensors due to Canon's smaller sensor dimensions and higher crop factors. If you plan on using this lens, what...

Tokina AT-X 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 DX Fish-eye: Field Test

The Tokina AT-X 107 DX AF Fish-Eye 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 is praised for its robust, metal construction, compact form factor, and a unique 180-degree diagonal fisheye perspective. It offers excellent central sharpness, a water-repellent coating, fast autofocus, and an impressive 14 cm minimum focusing distance, making it ideal for close-focus, wide-angle photography. Conversely, the lens suffers from severe chromatic aberration at 10mm, with notably soft corners across the zoom range and no ability to mount filters due to the bulbous front element. Furthermore, it lacks an internal motor for some bodies and features a rotating manual focus ring during autofocus operation.

Tokina 10-17mm (N APS-C) Test - Focus Review

The Tokina 10-17 mm Fisheye (AT-X 107 DX / NH version) is a compact, solidly built zoom lens that delivers a 180-degree diagonal field of view on APS-C sensor cameras. It stands out as an incredibly versatile option, especially popular for niche applications like underwater and aerial photography. Key advantages include its unique ability to zoom within a fisheye perspective, exceptionally fast autofocus, and remarkable resistance to lens flare and ghosting when shooting directly into bright lights. Furthermore, because the newer NH version lacks a built-in lens hood, it can also be successfully used on full-frame cameras from approximately 12 mm onward without any corner vignetting.

The most significant optical flaw is high chromatic aberration, which causes visible color fringing in high-contrast scenarios and requires software correction in RAW post-processing. While center resolution remains strong, the overall sharpness drops at longer focal lengths, and the lens...

Best lens for Canon 80D - Focus Review

The Canon EOS 80D is highly praised as one of Canon's top APS-C cameras, standout for its excellent dynamic range, pure image quality, and advanced video features like Dual Pixel AF and a tilting touchscreen. While the expert testing found that it lags slightly behind the sports-focused EOS 7D Mark II regarding autofocus tracking and maximum shooting speeds, the 80D remains a premier choice for serious photographers and videographers. The review relies heavily on evaluating uncorrected RAW image files across dozens of tested lenses to determine which options truly maximize the sensor's capabilities. To get the absolute best out of this body, the review highlights distinct lens recommendations across several categories, explicitly balancing high brightness, optical sharpness, and budget. The standout pros of the recommended lenses include the unmatched fixed f/1.8 brightness of the Sigma 18-35mm Art for low light, the superb "L-series" build quality and optical performance of the Canon EF 70-300mm telephoto, and the incredible, affordable bokeh capabilities of the future-proof Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. On the downside, some key lens cons to note are that non-maker...
