Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX-II 11-16mm f/2.8 for Canon for $329.00. Save $170 from the regular price of $499.
This is an excellent price for this ultra-wide angle autofocus zoom lens with a fast constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. This lens is designed for digital cameras with APS-C (crop) sensors.
Astro for APS-C! Thanks to its wide angle and fast aperture, this lens is ideal for astro shooters that don’t quite have the budget to go to a full frame setup. I personally have been using the 10mm f2.8 from Rokinon, but the nice thing about the Tokina is it is more versatile for other things as well since it can zoom and can auto focus. At this price it is about the same as the Rokinon is new.
