Product Description
The Tokina AT-X 107 DX, For Nikon is a fish-eye lens that gives the digital photographer an approximate 180 Deg field of view with dramatic curvature of field or fish-eye effect. With this lens an entire view or vista can be captured, wider than the human eye can see. The AT-X 107 opens an entirely new dimension of photography. Unlike other fish-lenses, the AT-X 107 DX gives a full corner-to-corner image. The front element of the AT-X 107 DX has a newly formulated WP or AgWater ProofAh 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.Note: This lens is designed to work with cameras that have an APS-C sized sensor only.

Get your entire visual field in the picture
By Mark Scheier
Lightweight lens with super sharp optics, and can be used to focus as close as eight inches. Great for close up nature photography, and you are able to get the flower in focus along with the entire garden in the background. The visual distortion makes some interesting photos at the 10 mm zoom level. Combine this lens with the nikkor 18-200 mm VR lens and that is all you need to carry on any trip. I did not see any flare except when shooting into the sun. Lens is 15 ounces, matte finish without a professional look as good as any nikon or canon lens.

Heavy Duty , clear and sharp shots
By SAMEH ODEH
Excellent fisheye lens, the most beautiful thing is that it has zoom capability.With my CANON 20D Body i have to use it at 10mm to get the maximum fisheye effect but still little bit less than 180 degree of the view on this body due to the 1.6 crop factor.But on the full frame bodies (starting from 14mm) and 1.4 crop factor (at 10mm) bodies it's perfect.Any way I think it's the best choice for those who have body with crop factor.Image quality is great,with sharp shots,and the coating is perfect ,no flares, BUT there is few chromatic aberrations at the edges and at the highlight spots, it's acceptable, and can be corrected by Photoshop easily, and still your photos are published even if didn't correct it.The Auto focus is accurate and work perfect, the Manual focus is very soft which i didn't like, but you don't need Manual focus most of the time for this lens.Finally i recommend this lens for any body who like the fisheye effects and who search for super wide angle shots, with any Canon EOS Body.

Nice lens for those with penchant for the creative
By David H. Myers
I've had a full-frame fisheye lens since the 1970s, starting with the Pentax Takumar 17mm in screw mount, followed by the Pentax in K-mount, and then finally, the Nikkor 16mm manual focus. So, when Tokina came out with this lens (which is actually the same as the Pentax, I've read in the same focal length), I had to have one for my new Nikon D40. The zoom feature is nice since you can vary the degree of the fisheye effect by backing it off a little from the widest focal length of 10mm. And, though it won't auto-focus on the D40, there's little need for precise focus with this lens due to the extreme depth of field at these focal lengths. Suprisingly, when I mounted the lens on my F100 film body, you naturally get vignetting, capturing the lens hood in the photo, but zoom it out a little and the vignetting disappears. So, with cropping, you could use this lens on a 35mm film body and create some interesting effects. Sharpness seems OK so far. I'm not a lab tech and I don't buy lenses to photograph graph paper or anything else that absoluetly has to be razor sharp from corner to corner. If you just want a fun, creative, lens that guarantees that your photos will always have a different interpretation than your friends who take the same shot, this is the lens for you!
