A hidden gems

This lens isn't famous on reviews or the internet, but this is an amazing lens, super-fast with a fast 2.0 aperture. Love the rendering from this lens. Only drawback is the lens a but big and heavy for APS-C size cameras

Sharper than the 11-20mm

Not sure why everybody prefers the 11-20 that I also own. This 14-20 is faster and sharper. Obviously not quite as wide. Doesn't vignette on a MFT speedBooster like the 11-20 though.

Wife likes it.

Using it for astrophotography, F2 is a good speed. So far so good. Will update review after some landscape sessions

I bought this lens from B & H a few years ago and I was blown away by how sharp this lens is, it's as sharp as some of my Canon L-series lenses are! I suggest you buy it, you'll love it, if you don't then just send it back but I don't think you will.

Tokina 14-20 f2 goodness

By Tim

I bought this lens mainly for astrophotography on my D7200. 14mm on the crop sensor is not super wide but f2 makes up for it, at least for me. I have found that this lens is also an excellent landscape lens. The small focal range is not as big of a deal as I though it might. The focus ring is kinda quirky, as per a lot of reviews, but I have been using manual focus exclusively and see no issue. Infinity mark is right on the money and accurate focus confirm in viewfinder. For the money, it is an excellent lens that is very sharp, even at f2.

Astro Imaging

I bought this lens for Milky Way imaging and so far doing good. There's very minimal chromatic aberration and minimal coma in the corners but almost gone by 2.8 F. However thus much better than more expensive lenses I have tried before. Would highly recommend for astro imaging over Rokinon though this is more expensive and 14mm vs 12mm for other I used.

Great wide angle

This lens is fast and sharp. I will say the corners you do get some dark shadows. However its clarity and crispness in videos is amazing

On a crop sensor (DX) camera like the Nikon D7500, will this be 11-20mm, or is that the focal length on a full-frame camera, so on a crop sensor (DX) camera it would wind up being much more zoomed in?
Asked by: Sam
Tokina AT-X 14-20mm f/2 PRO DX Lens for Nikon F on a Nikon D7500 will have a crop factor of 1.5x when comparing to a full frame camera. So it will be 21-30mm full frame equivalent.

How much does the lack of VR/IS affect your ability to take good shots overall and at f/2?
Asked by: Wilkey
If you are doing hand help shots, not too much especially when shooting hand help. However, if you are doing longer exposures, a tripod would be recommended.

question

How would this lens do compared to the 11-16mm f2.8 for astrophotography of the milky way? Or even compared to a Rokinon 10mm f2.8
Asked by: Michael V.
Personally, the brighter the lens, the better it is for me for astrophotography. Though it is nice to have wider lenses and F2.8 is enough to get a good astro shot. It can also be nice to get more sky in your shot which the 11-16 and 10mm gives you.
