Sharpness at 28mm

The sharpness tests for this review were carried out using a real-world subject rather than a test chart. The Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 Pro FX lens was attached to a Canon EOS 5D mark II DSLR camera, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. The self-timer was used to avoid any vibrations from pressing the shutter release. Slight tonal changes are due to slight changes in natural light during the session.
