opera 16-28mm F2.8 FF overview
The Tokina opera 16-28mm F2.8 FF is a 16–28mm f/2.8 zoom for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S and Nikon F, announced by Tokina in February 2019. 41 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors.
No store we track in the United States lists it today. It is listed in Australia. It launched at $699.
