This is a dope-ass, pimped-out Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens. YEAH, you saw that right! 11-16mm. THIS BAD BOY IS ULTRA-WIDE. It sees more than a cock-eyed chameleon on a sugar rush.
If you're looking at this post, you've already read the reviews and know this lens is pure P.I.M.P. It features a Nikon DX mount designed to turn your boring-ass D7000 into a stone-faced lady-killer.
Why is this lens so legendary? To quote my boy Ludacris:
It's big and reckless,
MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GOT A MIDGET HANGING FROM YOUR NECK-less.
You're smart—you already know the bigger the glass, the better the photographer. (Actually, as my girlfriend says, it's not that big. IT'S JUST THE RIGHT SIZE.)
THIS THING IS WIDE. Didn't you read what I said before? Stuck in a tiny room? It'll make that place look like the inside of Hodor's head. Taking pictures of your friends doing bunny hops? STOP doing that right now. Pick up a skateboard, go out, and take photos of them ollying. BOOM. EPIC. Crocheting koozies for your cucumbers? BOOM. EPIC. Eating SpaghettiOs? BOOM. EPIC.
...Damn, where did you get SpaghettiOs? I haven't had those in years. Man, now I'm hungry.
BUT WAIT! What's the aperture again? Can you take it out at night and treat it to a nice dinner? HELL YEAH. f/2.8! You hear that? That's Usain Bolt crying because this lens is repping Japan in the next Olympics and he knows he's gonna LOSE. FAST.
SHARP-ASS COPY. You think a hustler like me is going to sit back and get burned? I ordered one online and it was soft, so I sent that back along with a severed toe so they knew I meant business—Big Lebowski style. I got the sharpest copy in their whole warehouse.
OHHH SNAP! Ken Rockwell is in da HOUSE!
"The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X is the best ultrawide zoom available for Nikon DX cameras, better than even Nikon's more expensive 12-24mm AF-S DX."
