This article will be a quick and dirty guide to Tokina Lens Review. In this guide, you will learn many things about the lenses and the company. You will learn who they are, what lenses they make and which mount do they make their lenses for.After reading this article in full, you should have a better understanding about these lenses overall.Why should you have this knowledge? It is pretty much to equip you with the proper equipment so you can have better understanding of all the photographic lenses out there and you can make better purchasing decision.

The first thing that you need to understand is that Tokina is a third party lens manufacturers. All it means is that they do not manufacture lenses for their own brand, but they make their lenses for other camera brands. Canon, Sony and Nikon are all the brand that Tokina make lenses for. A lot of photographers have used Tokina lenses for their photographic needs.

The first in line of the Tokina lens is the zoom lens. Currently, Tokina is facing a stiff competition from Canon, Nikon and Sony lens makers. Thanks to their dilligence and ability to stay ahead on the market, they still survive by offering great lens at cheaper price. This makes them a very ideal third party lens manufacturers.

The best zoom lens that they make is the wide angle lens. They make it both for full frame and APS-C sensor camera. Note that you can use a full frame lens on an APS-C sensor, but not the other way around.

The other lens that they make is Tokina macro lens. A macro lens is simply a lens that allows you to focus closer in order to take a close up shot of a subject. All these macro lenses have a 1:1 macro magnification ratio which means that they will be able to capture subject in real life size. This is a great feature to have for all macro photography lovers.

Tokina only make two macro lenses currently. One is for APS-C sensor. Another one is for full frame DSLR. Both kinds of lenses have gotten very positive feedback from many shooters out there. Build quality of all their macro lenses are solid and without compromise.

Another interesting thing to see about Tokina is that they also make a lens for creative photography called the fisheye lens. This lens is a lens with an extreme degree of barrel distortion that will allow photographers to expand their creativity. You can use this kind of lens for indoor fun photography, underwater or even aerial photography. For a fun tips, you can use this lens to photograph children for some good laugh.

All in all, I can only say that Tokina is a very good lens manufacturer. For beginner, take a look at their ultra wide angle lens. All are very sharp and solid. The build is so well made that it will rival most lenses. They also give very aggressive pricing which should appeal to photographers on a budget.
