Long ago, I had a Peleng fisheye which I sold off because I kinda hate doing manual focus when using a DSLR. Then one day &#8230; I found this used Tokina 10-17 fisheye at quite an affordable price and without a second thought &#8230; ermm &#8230; bought it. It has been quite a while already but I&#8217;ve yet to really make full use of it apart from a couple of test shots. Not that I don&#8217;t like it &#8230; but I&#8217;ve been using my film cameras more than the DSLR for the last few years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love this lens because of the zoom capability. Many fisheye lenses are prime lenses and when you do not want that much of the fishy eye effect &#8230; you&#8217;ll have to do some &#8216;correction&#8217; in Photoshop which I don&#8217;t really fancy. The Tokina&#8217;s 10-17mm zoom solves this problem eventhough you still get (less) fisheye effect at 17mm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is also stated that this lens is not meant for full frame DSLRs or 35mm cameras I read that by zooming in at 14mm &#8230; it works well on a SLR. So does it work well? Nah! Not at 14mm! I&#8217;ll probably need to zoom in a little more to get rid of the vignettings\/black corners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Somehow these two taken at Cafe Iguana looks better &#8230; maybe because the dark corners are not so obvious (or it could be the booze!).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">See an example of a shot with more obvious dark corners &#8230; maybe I accidentally zoom out a little less than 14mm for this shot &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/18.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what happens if I shoot at 10mm?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/e7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/eos88-tokina-fe-velvia-test\/e2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The dark weird frame is caused by the &#8216;permanent lens hood&#8217; on the front of the lens.
