  • Damn, this is pretty nice. A little short on the zoom range but a nice compromise for F/2. I wonder how much more expensive it will be (if at all) than the 11-20 F/2.8.

  • Whoa! This is cool

  • Official data and samples released, first post updated.

    Kenko Tokina Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the new AT-X 14-20 F2 PRO DX.

    Characteristics

    The fast F2.0 Zoom lens of Tokina

    Since the maximum aperture of F2.0 is given this lens, it's possible to support the low sensitivity photography used ISO64 and ISO100 setting. The maximum aperture of F2.0 shows its power for the photography using the blur feeling and photography with the low brightness (In the room, In the night).

    Adopt highly precise Plastic Aspherical lens

    The 2nd lens group in this lens is adopted the plastic aspherical lens which improved surface accuracy, and is given antireflection coat. This lens is designed tough against ghost flare.

    Arrange highly precise Glass molded Aspherical lens

    2 pieces of super low dispersion glass molded aspherical lens is located in the back goup of the lens, and various aberration are corrected by these lenses.

    Compact Body and Excellent Operability

    Tokina’s exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the photographer to switch between AF/MF simply by sliding the focus ring, forward side for AF and back toward the camera for MF. This lens is designed as the fast aperture F2.0 in all focal range, but it is a compact body. This lens has a thread in the front frame, so it’s possible to attach filters of 82mm size.

    The new Tokina AT-X 14-20 F2 PRO DX is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for the DX(APS-C) size, and has the maximum aperture of F2.0. In low brightness situation, use it demonstrates its preeminent power.

  • Like this one alot with viltrox speedbooster on GH5. It becomes around 10-14 mm, while keeping the lines quite straight. Very good for gimbal work as well. You might need to step down a little, but at 1.8 its quite usable. I usually add tiffen digital diffusion 1 to it, helps to take of some edge and with naturally harsh highlight rolloff. Just don´t expect to much from bokeh, but unless you focus very close (which is possible), there isn´t much of it anyways. This can make nailing focus hard on small screen.
