Tokina is releasing an updated version of its long-running and well-regarded 11-16mm F2.8 CF super-wide lens for Nikon and Canon crop-sensor DSLRs early next month.

This super-wide zoom is a great option for landscape photographers and architecture photographers. Tokina

The ultra-wide specs of this lens will make it a good choice for photographers and video shooters. Although the ultra wide field of view might seem outlandish for everyday use, this focal length can be a very nice option for photographers looking to capture landscapes, astrophotography, or architecture especially since the cropped sensor makes getting true super-wide angles more difficult. The lens will be available starting November 8.
