The 17-35mm f/4 Pro FX Lens for Canon Cameras from Tokina is designed for use with a Canon full frame digital or film camera. This ultra wide-angle lens gives you a 103.9° angle of view at the 17mm end of the zoom, and a bright, constant f/4.0 maximum aperture, making it ideal for low light photography. Two Super-Low Dispersion glass elements and one aspheric glass element produce superior contrast and sharpness, and help control chromatic aberration.
Tokina's One-Touch Focus Clutch Mechanism provides a quick and simple way to switch back and forth between autofocus and manual focus. The lens has been designed using improved seals, making it "water-resistant" (not waterproof), so that damp conditions won't spoil your shooting expeditions. The lens features a water-repellant optical coating, but is not safe to submerge in water or expose to heavy rain.

Comments about Tokina 17-35mm f/4 Pro FX Lens for Canon Cameras:
I did many reviews of this and other lenses in the category and ultimately purchased the Tokina 17-35. I use it on my Canon 5D Mark II and thus far, I am pleased with the results. I used it most recently for an interior shoot inside a commercial building and the results were very good and sharp. At 17mm, there is considerable barrel distortion, comparable to others in it's class however. Vignetting is minimal at 17mm. I used the recommended apeture of F7 or F8 to minimize any softness at the corners and at 17mm, the corners were sharp. There was some natural lighting inside the building but I used flash and bouce flash to aid in lighting along with a tripod. The build quality is solid but heavy, which is ok with me. For the price, I am very happy with this lens.

Comments about Tokina 17-35mm f/4 Pro FX Lens for Canon Cameras:
I went to a local "expert" store to look at the Canon lens 16-35 and 24-70. Unfortunately, the sales person knew little about the lens and when I kept getting unfocused images (on my 5D Mark III) she said it was supposed to be that way. I tried two copies of each - decided to take one home. The images I shot were not up to par for a [*] lens. So I went back to more research. I ended up looking at the Tokina and knew that I could return the lens to B&H (where I do buy most of my camera equipment) so I decided to spend half the price of the other two lens. I am extremely happy with this lens. I have taken some really sharp images, great color, and bokeh.
