Product Description
The Tokina 16-50mm f/2.8 AT-X 165 PRO DX Autofocus Lens is a large-aperture everyday zoom lens designed exclusively for use with digital SLR cameras that feature the smaller APS-C size sensor. It features a fast constant aperture of f/2.8, and provides a focal length equivalent to 24-75mm in 35mm format. Ideal for outdoor scenery, portraits, or photojournalism photography. The lens features SD glass lens elements to correct for chromatic aberrations and focuses all colors accurately at the film plane. DX series lenses feature a smaller image circle (rear of lens) and are designed to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on some digital cameras. As a result, these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras. This Lens is Not compatible with 35mm film or full-size chip digital cameras.

Great lens
By Lee Krohn
This is another great lens in the Tokina pro line, and a great match to their 50-135 zoom. Fine image quality for sure; I only wish it were a purely internal focusing and zooming lens like the longer one. Good glass is always worth the $; in Tokina's case, it's also reasonably priced for its intended purpose.

By D. Holt
This is a great lens. Build is like a tank. Auto focus is fast and a little noisy, but it's focused from the camera so it's always a little noisy. No big deal for me. Has some CA and color fringing sometimes, but you really won't see it unless you blow the picture to 100%. Only con I see is the high price, but it was worth it for me.

Great value - excellent quality lens
By Nils Eriksen
Worked perfectly out of the box. Very sharp, good contrast, fast focus, sligt CA that is easily corrected in PS. Only visible in high contrast areas and only at 100% magnification. Colors may be slightly on the cool side. Compared to the Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 at double the price you get same sharpness, smaller size and less weight. Tokina's Pro series are built very well and have good optical qualities. Nice damping of zoom ring and nice feature for manual/auto focus. This is my second Tokina lens and my experience with the 11-16mm 2.8 motivated me for the 16-50mm 2.8. I use the lens on a D300 and a D200 for portraits and weddings. NO focusing problems as I have seen reported on other reviews.I am a pro photographer and I recommend this lens.
