Description
Overview
The Tokina AT-X 107 DX is a compact and lightweight fisheye zoom lens that gives the digital photographer an approximate 180° field of view with dramatic curvature of field or "fish-eye" effect. A full corner-to-corner image that packs everything around the subject makes this lens a useful item in street, landscape, architecture, underwater and 360° panorama photography.
Zoom Function
Unlike other common fisheye lenses the Tokina AT-X 107 DX incorporates an optical zoom of 10-17mm that, uncommon in fisheye lenses and giving the photographer more flexibility. You can adjust the framing and composition or play with different levels of perspective and bokeh by rotating the zoom ring. Usually with a super wide field of view, unwanted objects can easily creep into the frame. With a zoom, they can be eliminated by simply zooming in and out.
Compact Design
The Tokina AT-X 107 DX weights just 350g and can be carried comfortably during long trips thanks to its small size and light-weight. Its compact size and high quality are accomplished by incorporating one super-low dispersion (SD) glass element in the optical design that effectively reduces the total number of lens elements.
Multi Coating and Easy Cleaning
The internal focus system of the Tokina AT-X 107 DX allows photographers to shoot close up shots with a distance from camera sensor to the subject of just 14cm. While focusing this close, water drops or other smudges may come into contact with the front of the lens. The water-repellent (WR) coating on the front element makes water drops bead up and roll off. It also makes cleaning off finger-prints and other smudges much easier compared to standard multi-coating.
Notes
- This lens is designed to work with cameras that have an APS-C sized sensor only.
- Do not rotate focus ring manually when the MF/AF switch on the lens is in AF position. It may stress or strip the focusing gear inside the lens and cause it to malfunction. Adjust focus when the MF/AF switch on the lens is in MF position.
- Due to very wide angle of view, AF may not work accurately when the focus point is set to the edges of the image area. It is suggested to use center focus point when shooting in AF mode.
