Lumix 14mm + Wide Converter vs. Tokina 11-16mm Comparison

mintcheerios — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 01:10:35 +0000

I got the Tokina 11-16mm (Mark I) because I wanted a wide lens I could use on both the GH3 and BMCC (if it ever comes out). I just sold the 14mm with converter on Craigslist and I thought I should do a quick test before the dude comes and picks it up. The converter is the official Panasonic DMW-GWC1 designed for the 14mm pancake.

I did three comparisons each with the lenses at f/2.8 and f/5.6. The uncropped shots are resized, but I only wanted to demonstrate the barrel distortion and vignetting with those. There are also 100% crops of each. All shots were done with the wide converter on the 14mm (sorry, forgot label it properly), and with the Tokina at it's widest setting. I used RAW on the GH2 for all shots.

As expected, the Panny combo had worse vignetting and barrel distortion than the Tokina. The GH2 corrects the distortion for the 14mm, but it can't do anything about the wide converter. At F/2.8, the Panny combo was clearly sharper than the Tokina which had some noticeable coma. At F/5.6, the sharpness is about even in the center, but the Tokina slightly beats out the Panny combo at the edges. You can also notice the purple fringing is pretty bad on the Tokina at the edge of that white book.

K I T E - extreme sports with kite buggy on the beach [GH2 Canis Majoris]

richardwouter — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:46:17 +0000

Kite buggy on the beach of the island Texel (Netherlands). I met this friendly kiteman on the beach and asked him if he liked to be filmed. He told me that he is studying for camera man. It was not that simple to make good shots of the fast moving buggy. And there are some small continuity goofs between shots, but I hope you like the result.

Hesitations between two lenses to complete my kit

krotal — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 07:57:10 +0000

Hi guys, I know it will sound weird/stupid but I'm trying to decide which lens between Tokina 11-16 and Voigtlander 25 Nokton f.95 will better fit my needs and complete my kit... Theses two pieces of glass are totally different but both have pros that seduce me. I own a nikkor 35 f1.8 and nikkor 40 f2.8 macro. Here why I'm hesitating :

The tokina produces wide shots with a relatively fast aperture, but I'm not sure it will mix well with 35mm (transition between Tokina wide shots and nikkor "close-up" shots will be hard)

The Voigtlander's focal length fits better my actual kit, the super fast aperture gives a dreamy look that I love (I mostly shoot experimental stuffs, fictionnal shorts), this lens seems to be extremely polyvalent, some says it's a workhorse for the GH2. OTOH it's not that wide...

So I'd like to know if you guys think (considering my actual kit) it's better to go for a wide lens or for a more "versatile" lens like the voigtlander.

Thanks in advance

Arthurian Brocéliande - Tokina 11-16 Driftwood VY Canis Majoris

richardwouter — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:32:45 +0000

Some footage that I shot on holiday in France with my Panasonic GH2 and Tokina AT-X Pro 11-16 lens. Shot in the Paimpont forest (said to be the Arthurian Brocéliande) and near Mont Saint-Michel. A timelapse at the golden hour before darkness.

Just for fun to play with my new wide lens. No special grading.

Camera : Panasonic GH2 AVC-Intra (Driftwood VY Canis Majoris Day PM) Lens : Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX AF 11-16mm f2.8 Gear : Sachtler FSB-4 75 CF, Gini Rig Follow Focus, Lilliput field monitor Tools: FCPX

Locations: Paimpont forest, sometimes said to be the Arthurian Brocéliande, is in the French commune of Paimpont, near the city of Rennes in Brittany. As Brocéliande it had a reputation in the Medieval imagination as a place of magic and mystery. It is the setting of a number of adventures in Arthurian legend, notably Chrétien de Troyes's Yvain, the Knight of the Lion, and locals[citation needed] claim the tree in which the Lady of the Lake supposedly imprisoned Merlin can still be seen today.

Mont Saint-Michel (Saint Michael's Mount) is a rocky tidal island and a commune in Normandy, France. It is located approximately one kilometre (just over half a mile) off the country's north-western coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. The population of the island is 41, as of 2006. The Mont-Saint-Michel and its bay are part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

After seeing this I think that the Tokina 11-16 + Panix GH2 is the killer couple

Manu4Vendetta — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 12:30:04 +0000

The look of this job seems like a Arri Alexa. So, some of the better look jobs with the GH2 generally come with this glass (Musgo for example).

I think Tokina wold come to the M4/3 bandwagon and manufacture this optical to work fully with our cameras.

PS: Sorry for inaccuracies with the english.

This is a short piece with two different color grades using the GH2 and the Driftwood Dark Matter Hack. Loving the detail and the gradability of the driftwood settings. Planning on shooting a short narrative in the same location.

Good Deals: Tokina AT-X 100-300MM F4

Vitaliy_Kiselev — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 03:37:10 +0000

As usual for Tokina AT-X this lens is build like a tank.
Not sharpnest wide open for photo, but for video it is pretty ok.
I have one for Pentax, and despite rarely using it do not intend to sell.

Lens seems to be in good state.
Seller also includes three 77mm Tiffen filters (including Tiffen UV and Tiffen CPL).

Price: $100 auction, $175 BIN (BIN for such lens with good filters is really low).

Vitaliy_Kiselev — Fri, 13 May 2011 08:10:34 +0000

One may ask - why bother with usual ultrazoom, especially not widely known?

Other question is - why AT-X (reserved for top Tokina lenses) mark on ultrazoom? Are they nuts?

I'll provide you some answers :-)

First. It is best ultrazoom, considering build quality. Solid aluminium barrel. A bit large, but feels perfect on camera.
Second. This is parfocal ultrazoom, only one that I know of. It means that it maintains focus during zooming.
Do you want to focus pricisely in 24mm? Zoom all the way in, focus and zoom back :-)
This is main reason why it holds AT-X mark.

One of the downsides is very short focus throw and small focus ring.
One of pluses - normal and handy aperture ring.

Get at quite cheap price (for this lens) in Nikon mount:
