Mechan sms
1. All metallic moving parts are coated with a special lubricant to
improve durability.
2. Tokina’s independently developed technology maintains the high
precision of mechanical fittings, accurately measured in microns.
3. Micron tolerances also give smooth operation and durability to
operating rollers and internal focus cams.
4. Brass is used in the lens mount to maintain high precision. Other
mechanisms are plated with hard chrome for optimum durability.
Exter or F n sh
1. PRO models have a hardened Alumite (Armalite) finish to increase
durability and give a top-quality feel and finish.
2. Ergonomic designs emphasize control, grip and ease of operation
with textured rubber used on zoom and focus barrels. These are
original Tokina materials, designed to give many years of faithful
service without deterioration.
Operat on
1. Use of our special alloy Duralumin for metal parts provides excellent
durability, stabilizes torque and provides better handling. It also
maintains smoother operation under all conditions.
2. Our special lubricant is used on moving parts, formulated to perform
even under extremes of temperature.
Lens Coat ngs
Resistance to flare and ghosting, plus faithful color reproduction are all
achieved by a unique coating technique – yet another reason for Tokina’s
reputation for incredibly sharp and clean images.

The New Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX II is an update to the widely
popular and award winning AT-X 116 PRO DX, 11-16 F/2.8 lens.
The main update to this lens is in the Nikon mount, the AT-X 116
PRO DX II has an internal silent focusing motor to allow the lens to
AF on Nikon bodies that do not have an AF drive gear and motor.
There have also been some adjustments made to the coating for
slightly improved optical performance.
This compact ultra wide-angle zoom has a bright constant F/2.8
aperture making viewing and auto focus possible in lower light
situations but still maintaining a reasonable size and weight.
Two Super-Low Dispersion glass elements and two aspheric lenses
allow the proprietary optical design to achieve excellent contrast and
sharpness as well as controlling chromatic aberration.
Tokina’s exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the
photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the
focus ring forward for AF and back toward the lens mount for
manual focusing. The lens is also designed to stand up to the rigors
of daily use by photographers in a wide variety of shooting
conditions and environments.
The New Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX II uses a newly developed silent
DC motor that allows the lens to focus faster and more quietly then
previous generations. The DC motor coupled with a new GMR
magnetic AF sensor works together to increase AF speed.
◆The lens is designed for Digital cameras with APS-C
sized CMOS and CCD sensors, not designed for
cameras with Full Frame sensors.
◆Be sure to note that the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX II lens
itself is not waterproof or water resistant.

The New Tokina Reflex 300mm f/6.3 compact telephoto mirror lens
is designed specifically for mirrorless compact cameras using the
micro 4/3rds mount.
The 300mm focal length of the lens gives effective 600mm (in 35mm
terms) when placed on a mirrorless camera body making it a super-
telephoto lens. This allows distant subject to be brought in much
closer. But despite this powerful focal length the lens is incredibly
compact to match the size of the compact cameras it was intended
to be used with.
The lens has a fixed f/6.3 aperture.
The Tokina Reflex 300mm has all metal lens barrels and very high
quality glass optics to yield the best optical performance from a new
of this design.
This lens has a wide grip area on the manual focusing ring and smooth
movement to assist in focusing. This is a manual focus system only.

This new Tokina lens is the first in a new generation of full frame (FX)
lenses designed for professional digital SLR cameras like the Canon
EOS 5D Mark II and the Nikon D700 and D3x. The 16-28 zoom
range gives the professional photographer a super-wide angle of
view to get close to subject for dramatic effect or to take in entire
scenes.
NEW Silent DC Motor with GMR senor
The 16-28 f/2.8 uses a newly developed silent DC motor that allows
the lens to focus faster and more quietly then previous generations.
The DC motor coupled with a new GMR magnetic AF sensor works
together to increase AF speed.
Aspherical and Super-low Dispersion glass elements
A new, 56mm in diameter, large sizes aspherical glass element is
incorporated into the front lens group, while there are 2 more
aspherical elements in the rear group. 3 SD super-low dispersion
glass elements are also incorporated through-out the optical design
to reduce chromatic aberration, give maximum resolution, more
even brightness and distortion correction.

Capture it all or create images with more impact. The Tokina AT-X
107 DX is Fisheye zoom lens that gives the photographer a 180º field
of view with dramatic curvature of field or “fisheye” effect. That's
wider than the human eye can see!
The AT-X 107 DX creates an entirely new view on everything from
street scenes to nature's beautiful vistas. This lens will open a new
dimension to your photography.
The front element of the AT-X 107 DX has a newly formulated WR or
“Water Repellent” optical coating on the glass*. This new coating
makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much
easier to clean than standard multi-coating.
The rear optical group of the lens contains 1 SD (Super-Low
Dispersion) glass element to reduce the number of elements (pieces
of glass) in the optical design in order to make the lens more
compact, light-weight and faster focusing.

The Tokina AT-X 107 NH is a fish-eye lens that gives the digital
photographer an approximate 180° field of view with dramatic
curvature of field or “fish-eye” effect. The AT-X 107 NH only differs
from the AT-X 107 DX in that the built-in hood as been removed
allowing for a wider image area and more coverage on full-frame
sensor (FX) cameras.*
The front element of the AT-X 107 DX has a newly formulated WR or
“Water Repellent" optical coating on the glass**. This new coating
makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much eas-
ier to clean than standard multi-coating. With the built-in hood
removed the lens also fits in a wider variety of underwater housings.
The rear optical group of the lens contains 1 SD (Super-Low
Dispersion) glass element to reduce the number of elements (pieces
of glass) in the optical design in order to make the lens more
compact, light-weight and faster focusing.

The Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX is an ultra-wide angle lens with a fast
f/2.8 aperture for better photography in low-light situations. Many
photojournalists consider having an f/2.8 aperture a must for any
lens in their camera bag.
Based on the award-winning optical design of the AT-X 124 PRO DX
(12-24mm f/4) lens, the AT-X 116 PRO DX has a slightly shorter zoom
range to maintain optical quality at wide apertures.
Tokina’s exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the
photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the
focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus
manually. There is no need to change the AF-MF switch on Nikon
cameras* and there is no second AF/MF switch on the lens for
Canon, everything is accomplished by the focus ring.
◆The lens is designed for Digital cameras with APS-C

The AT-X 124 PRO DX II 12-24mm f/4 AF lens gives the Digital
photographer an ultra wide-angle zoom lens that has the equivalent
angle of view to an 18-36mm in full frame (FX) format.
The Nikon mount of the AT-X 124 PRO DX II has a new built-in AF
motor drive, which the original 12-24 does not have. The AF
operates smoothly and quietly due to a DC motor that uses a newly
designed AF control gear assembly. This lens can auto focus with
the Nikon D60 and D40 and other silent wave bodies.
The optical system of original AT-X 124 PRO DX won awards for its
sharpness world-wide. This design was maintained in the AT-X 124
PRO DX II but with new improved optical multi-coating. The new
multi-coating helps reduce reflections that can cause flare and
ghosting even more than in the AT-X 124 PRO DX.
The Canon version of the lens already has a built-in AF motor and
will benefit from the improved multi-coating.
