… or how to make a small space look huge.
I couldn’t resist, and bought another lens. This time a real wide-angle lens, the Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX. Yes, it’s a zoom lens, and on paper the range fitted nicely to my Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. But the difference between 11 and 16mm turned out to be so tiny (and the image quality so good that cropping an 11mm image down to 16mm would be more than adequate), that I might as well have gotten a prime 11mm one. But still, a very nice lens this is!
So what exactly did I ‘need’ this lens for? My brother wanted some shots of his studio. Our attic isn’t that big, but on these pictures it looks pretty impressive 
Of course, it’s also a nice holiday lens:
nice shots.
it took me quite a while to get used to the tokina 11-16. I tend to find it doesn’t work too well if you simply point it at the horizon and shoot. what i learned is that you need to pay attention to the composition to get the best from this lens. when you get it right, this lens takes amazing pictures.
that studio looks awesome by the way!
Almost got that lens last week, but picked up the 12-24mm instead. Even the 12mm is plenty from what I can see. May get your lens next year.
Nice studio shots. Looks warm and comfortable.
