Review of the Tokina AT-X 17-35mm F4 PRO FX lens by Nasim Can Isik, Tokina ambassador

In the ultra wide-angle range of lenses for full frame DSLR, 2 Tokina models compete: the recent opera 16-28mm F2.8FF (an update of the well-known AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 PRO FX) and the AT-X 17-35mm F4 PRO FX. Admittedly, the last one is not as bright as its famous colleague, but it is not without merit: a low weight, good optical performance due to aspherical and super-low dispersion glass elements, and a wider focal range in comparison with the 16-28mm.

Nasim Can Isik, Tokina ambassador, is using since a lot of years the AT-X 17-35mm F4 PRO FX throughout Europe (in the dangerous Chernobyl nuclear zone, in the very cold weather in Northern Norway and hot weather in Turkey etc.). He explains why he likes this lens so much in the article below, and also writes about its wise use for concert photography:
