The Tokina AF 17mm f/3.5 AT-X PRO is a camera glass that offers a wide angle view. It has both autofocus and manual focus options. The lens is made up of multiple elements and has a special coating to reduce glare and improve image quality. It is a well-built lens that should last a long time. The aperture can be adjusted to control the amount of light entering the lens. The resolution of the lens is good, making it a good choice for landscape and architectural photography.

Negatives:
While the lens build quality may feel durable, it is a little weighty, which may be cumbersome for some photographers. The autofocus is slower than some of the more expensive lenses on the market, which could be an issue for action photographers. The lens also has noticeable distortion and vignetting at wider apertures, which can be corrected with post-processing.

In conclusion, the Tokina AF 17mm f/3.5 AT-X PRO lens is an excellent choice for photographers on a budget.

    A very sharp lens I bought this lens to shoot underwater images. It has a very good reputation for underwater photography. Despite being a dx,some photographers will use it on their full frame bodies. I have enjoyed taking very nice and sharp images with my sony a6300, coupled with a metabones 4 adapter. Its ability for very close focusing marks it as unique since many lenses do not offer this feature.
