Product Description
The Tokina AT-X 124 AF PRO DX lens is Tokina's first lens designed with an APS-C sized sensor. This lens gives the Digital Photographer an ultra wide-angle zoom lens that has the equivalent of an 18-36mm zoom range on a 35mm film camera while maintaining a bright constant aperture of f/4. Non-rotating 77mm filter threads mean special effect filters will not change when the lens' focus is changed. Fast internal focusing with Tokina's One-Touch focus clutch mechanism allows the lens to AF focus faster and switching between auto and manual focus is as easy as snapping the focus ring back and forth. 2 sharp-cut aspherical elements accurately correct aspherical aberration usually associated with ultra-wide angle lenses. Bright, constant f/4 aperture allows plenty of light to enter the camera for shooting in a wide variety of photographic situations. A chrome-plated brass mount plate and all-metal zoom unit can stand up to regular use, while an advanced polycarbonate outer lens barrel reduces the weight of the lens, making it a pleasure to carry. Dimensions - 3.3 x 3.5 (84x89.5mm) Weight - 20.1 ounces (570 grams)

 Very Good Lens January 3, 2009
Toklina 12-24mm f/4 is a very good lens. It has a solid build and excellent optical quality. Normally, I stay with Nikon lenses for my Nikon camera, but the optical quality of the Tokina 12-24 is actually a bit better than the corresponding wide-angle Nikon lens. AND, this Tokina is about half the price of the corresponding Nikon, so it's pretty much of a no-brainer deciding between the two. The only reason I give it four stars instead of five is that there is actually a better wide-angle lens for just a little more money: The recently released Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 , which just costs about $100 more. The Tokina 11-16 is twice as fast as the Tokina 12-24 and even goes to a little wider angle. br /br /A final note: If you get the Tokina 12-24 or the Tokina 11-16, buy an authentic 77mm diameter Nikon lens cap to go with it and ditch the Tokina lens cap. The Tokina lens cap on my lens broke when I dropped my camera a few inches onto a tatami mat in Japan. Although the Tokina lenses themselves are very sturdy, their lens caps are not, so protect your investment by buying a Nikon lens cap to go with it.
 Tokina Wide Angle Lens December 17, 2008

I've never had a true wide angle lens before, and after looking at all the review sites, I settled on this Tokina 12-24 as the best fit for what I needed. The lens is incredible in sharpness and the capture of light. This purchase is more than I hoped for in lens quality, and the purchase from Amazon through Adorama was extremely easy, pleasant and very well completed with no problems whatsoever. I would recommend Tokina lenses to anyone, as well as both Adorama and Amazon.
Optical Empathy December 1, 2008

I do mostly night and low light photography - hand-held. I hardly ever use anything other than the Tokina 12-24 on my Nikon D300. Not only is it technically superb, but the focal range is extremely useful for the shots I like to get. br /br /The 11-16mm f/2.8 may go a smidge wider and have an extra stop of light, but 12mm is wide enough for me when needed, and with the great image quality at high ISO's on a Nikon DSLR, f/4 is enough. Besides, I very often use the 17-24 range. I would miss it with the newer Tokina.br / br /The way I see the world and the way the Tokina 12-24 sees the world are fast becoming one and the same. That's exactly what I want from a lens.
Great Wide-Angle Lens September 27, 2008

This is a great lens. I use it with a Nikon D300, taking pictures of landscapes and portraits. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a wide-angle lens at a decent price. It is built like a tank.
Sharp, Built Well September 15, 2008

This excellent lens by Tokina is well worth the 470 price tag. Capture extremely wide angle photographs for half the price of the Nikon 12-24. It is sharp, reliable and built incredibly well.
