Tokina atx-i 17-35mm f/4 FF 35mm
A constant f/4 aperture and weather-sealed build pair with three aspherical and two ED elements for consistent edge-to-edge sharpness across the 17-35mm range. The one-touch focus clutch instantly switches between AF and MF, while the 9-blade diaphragm provides smooth out-of-focus rendering at close distances. This lens is best for Nikon F-mount landscape and architecture photographers needing a lightweight 569g zoom that focuses down to 280mm for 1:4.7 magnification near-far compositions.
