The Tokina AT-X 16.5-135 DX, is a 16.5-135mm f/3.5-5.6 AF lens is a new lens that gives the digital photographer an ultra wide-range zoom lens that has the equivalent angle of view to a 25-200mm. It is designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with APS-C sized CMOS and CCD sensors (DX) – not for cameras with full frame sensors (FX).

This Tokina compact super wide zoom range begins at 16.5mm and offers the photographer a wider angle of view in comparison with most lenses in its class that start at 18mm. So it suits better for scenic and travel photography in as well as most general photography situations.

The AT-X 16.5-135 DX’s three aspherical elements, one all glass precision-molded element and 2 compound elements work for high contrast. Two Super-low Dispersion (SD) glass elements correct chromatic aberration. In addition, its newly designed high-precision mechanical zoom cam system minimizes play and eliminates zoom creep.

The lens will be available for Nikon cameras in June, for Canon cameras – in July.
