Frequently asked questions
What is special about the Tokina 14-20mm f/2?
It keeps a constant f/2 aperture across the zoom range, brighter than the f/2.8 or f/4 of most wide zooms for APS-C.
Is the Tokina 14-20mm f/2 good for astrophotography?
Yes. The bright aperture gathers a lot of light, which helps with stars and the Milky Way on an APS-C body.
What filter size does it use?
It takes 82mm filters. Buy that size and they mount directly with no step ring.
