I love my Tokina!
So I have one of the most expensive consumer DSLR’s money can buy. If you’re a professional Canonist, don’t read on… you might cringe. To my delight I found out that my wide-angle lens, a Tokina 12-20mm, which is considered cheap stuff, delivers really great pictures with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. It isn’t even made for a full-frame camera but specifically for a 1.6 crop sensor. The downside is that at anything less than 20mm, you get a funny porthole view like in the one on the right (which was shot at 15mm). But it’s nothing a little post-processing can’t handle. In any case, until I’ll be able to afford better glass (I will, one day!!), I’m quite happy with what I’ve got!
All photos in this post were taken on Monday in Dahlet Qorrot, a small beach and fishing spot just outside Nadur. I used no filters and, except for lens aberration correction, no other photoshop enhancements – and I’m quite pleased with the outcome! Hope you’ll like them too.
