Tokina 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 AF 193 review by the_photo_nut

Pros: good build, IQ and sharpness. excellent price.
Cons: a little soft wide open and could be faster

I have had this lens as a temporary lens till I had enough money to purchase a Canon 17-40 f4L lens. Shot many family outings and parties with it. So far all pics have come out very sharp with good detail, color and contrast. I was pleasantly surprised. I did use a Canon 430ex flash with it indoors. Lens still performed very well. With the money I paid for it and quality of the photos I had gotten, I may just save my money for the 17-40 and keep this lens as my primary wide angle lens. Enjoy !!!

Pros: Rapport qualité/pris - fabrication au top
Cons: pare soleil en option

très bon zoom grand angle que ce soit pour de l'argentique 24x36 ou pour du numérique à petit capteur.
Une excellente qualité de fabrication, metal et très peut de plastique. Zooming et mise au point fluide et silencieux.


Un achat à recommander surtout si vous avez un petit budget, ce zoom est d'un excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Pros: solid construction, good image quality already wide open, improves with stopping down, exceptional value
Cons: somewhat stiff zoom ring (minor nuisance, might be just my copy), limited zoom range

The Tokina 19-35mm is a rather exceptional lens. I had never seen before such a well-built and optically good zoom lens sell for just a little more than a hundred dollars. A lens that delivers both on crop as well as on full frame bodies!


Very little on CA, little distortion, good contrast and sharpness, some flare, slightly warm.
You will not be in Canon L Lens territority but - considering the price - surprisingly near.


If the limited zomm range is no major obstacle for you go for it. This will be one of your no-regrets purchases (if you don't pick up a dud).
