Frequently asked questions
What filter size does the Tokina 17-35mm f/4 use?
The filter thread is 82mm, so standard 82mm polarizers and ND filters screw straight onto the front.
How close can it focus?
Minimum focus is 0.28 m, with a maximum magnification of 0.21x. That is close enough to place a foreground subject against a wide background.
Is it a full-frame lens?
Yes. It covers full-frame sensors, and on APS-C bodies the view is narrower.
