Tokina's atx-i 11 to 16 millimeter f 2.8 is a sharp ultra wide zoom for Nikon F mount APS C bodies, and the $149 price stands out as especially strong for a new lens from a legit dealer. It is described as solidly built, made in Japan, and useful for indoor group shots, landscapes, and astrophotography. The main catch is compatibility, since it is designed for DX sensors and needs a Nikon body with an internal focus motor for screw drive autofocus. On full frame it falls back to crop mode and loses the wider coverage, so it fits best when that format is what you need.
Common Questions (4)
Yes, $149 is described as a very strong price for a new lens from a legit dealer. Several comments compare it favorably with prior resale or purchase prices around $289-$299, and say it is worth it for F-mount users.
It is a DX-format F-mount lens, so on Nikon APS-C/DX bodies it behaves like about a 16.5-24mm equivalent. On Nikon full-frame FX bodies it will force DX crop mode and vignette outside that crop area.
Yes, this ATX-I version uses screw-drive autofocus, so it needs a Nikon body with an internal focus motor for autofocus to work. It is not the same as the ATX-II version with its own internal motor.
It can be used on Nikon Z bodies with the FTZ adapter, but it remains a DX lens and may crop automatically on some full-frame Z models. That makes it usable for wide-angle work, though not as a full-frame 11-16mm lens.

I have a ton of wide angle lenses already.
If you needed wide angle I'll say this lens is even worth adapting to other cams at $150....
"If it fits, I sits" does NOT apply here....oh boy, does it not.
AF motor drive, AF chip, etc. And then there are separate bespoke exceptions depending on the model you have. "Such and such works on all bodies in this series, except for....well, that one. It's special."
I already have a decent collection of prime lenses, but an ultra-wide was the one major gap in my kit. This lens pretty much completes my setup. It's exactly what I was missing for indoor group photos and large gatherings where backing up isn't an option.
The lens feels incredibly solid (Made in Japan, too). Looking forward to taking it out for landscape and astrophotography soon. Thanks for sharing the deal! 🙂
