  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

PL Mount 11-16mm f2.8 Prototype, Manual Iris

Matt Uhry said:
In another thread Sanjin mentioned that he thought the Tokina 11-16 breathed... I found myself thinking that I did not see much breathing. Here's a test I shot. 11mm Rack from 12 inches to infinity and back. f2.8, 1/250 shutter to compensate for the light.

That's an impressive lack of breathing...the focus just kind of changes...

Matt,

I would say that Tikona at has a bit of breathing that I found at 15mm.

Also I would say that Tokina 11-16mm has an excellent price/performance lens value.

From 11mm to 16mm is useful for landscapes and from 14mm-16mm for indoor shooting.

Also Mattew Duclos added that from 12mm is useful for RED's 5K.

Amazing!

Here is my breathing test example for download at _H_2K>>>

Just got your email.... to clarify, is the total price $3995 or $2995?
 
Is there going to be a spot on this lens to tape on focus marks?

The image circle changes throughout the zoom range.
It's originally a DX format lens which covers the RED One sensor just fine.
Here's a quick little (childish) illustration.
(before I get slammed for crappy images, these were taken with my phone...
the distortion is not from the Tokina, it's from my phone taking pictures at an angle... Back to business.)

This image shows the lens set at 11mm. I marked where 5K coverage is.
The image just barely covers to 5K and we are looking into cutting back some more of the front housing to see if that's the wide angle coverage limitation.

Next is the lens set at 16mm. As you can see, it covers well beyond 5K almost covering the 43.27mm FF35 frame.

So now you've seen its full coverage. And even with the very minor vignette at 11mm, it covers 5K entirely at 12mm and beyond.

Matthew,

I'm looking at the image that you posted here and your still vignetting the 5k. The coverage of your lens is 18mm by 26mm the full frame is 24mm by 36mm. Also, I see quite a bit of pin cushion distortion on the edges. If you change the front distance to get rid of your vignetting, you will gain the format but you will loose the 11mm end. If you can remember the 8mm Nikkor did not cover academy, however Open Himer Camera extended the front focus group so the lens would cover the academy format, but in the process of doing this, the 8mm lens became approximately a 10mm lens.

This has all been discussed in this thread already. Thank you for your notes.
I am well aware of the vignetting and have made it VERY clear that it does so at 11mm only.
 
Field of view question:

If someone would make a cine lens - There is no Cooke S4 11mm, but let's say Cooke S4 12mm - would the FOV of the 12mm be the same as the FOV of that lens at 12mm?

I know that a 50mm lens is a 50mm lens is a 50mm lens, but in regards of crop factor etc. just wanted to be sure.
 
Ordered mine -- I'm so excited for this lens. Really looking forward to it.

Thank you, Matthew, for developing it, at this nice price, and thank you, Matt, for testing.

Sweet ! I've been having loads of fun with it - will post some motion clips hopefully by the weekend.

11mm 4k f5.6 ND-9

People who are worried about 5k coverage should not - at 11mm where it has it's least
coverage, it still has slightly more coverage than the wide Red Pro Primes. ( 25mm and 35mm )
Red will certainly support a variety of appealing shooting formats that use their own pro glass.

Also remember that you are likely to use / want look-around. The current Red One camera
is actually 4.5k we just record 4k, the other .5 is used for the very useful look-around feature.

On the Epic / Scarlet we'll likely have the same situation.

For the growing funs community of my quick & dirty tests here it is one more

From my "Quick and dirty" Tokina 11-16mm test a couple weeks ago:

Quick & dirty car drive at Wiener Bundesstraße (VW Tiguan), shot handheld on RED1 at 14-15-16mm range of focal length @ f/4 and @ f/5.6 and.

First batch of these lenses should ship "4 to 6 weeks" from the middle of last week. That's all we know about that. Resolution is really good on this Tokina. I don't know how it directly compares in terms of overall resolution or MTF with the RED 18-50, but it's a great lens, I've played with one on a friend's Canon DSLR. I'm anxious to put one on the RED!
 
I want a Burgundy (or Silver) 1996 911 Turbo, a 993, but Matt's car would do :-)

Don't be fooled by pictures, in person it is arguably one of the most beautiful cars ever.
 
I'd take a 993 but pass on the turbo part. These cars are fast enough and there is a power / handling balance going on that's quite fun once you learn it....

Anyone in LA who wants to test drive ( the Lens ) can contact me and I'll set it up. If you can get a rental all the better we'll split the take ?

Ken Corbin is supposed to take it to go visit his fishy friends out at Anacapa Island sometime soon. That should be cool.
