Wide-angle APS-C zoom for Canon
The Tokina AT-X PRO V 12-28mm f/4.0 DX is a constant-aperture zoom built for Canon APS-C bodies. It covers a 12-28mm focal range with a 35mm equivalency of 19-45mm, suited to landscape, architecture and interior work. An AF/MF clutch lets you snap the focus ring back for instant manual override without menu diving. A toothed crown on the focus ring accepts follow-focus gear for video rigs.
Silent AF motor and magnetic sensor
A Silent Drive-Module motor handles autofocus with reduced mechanical noise during video capture. A magnetic precision sensor tracks focus position without physical contact, contributing to consistent drive performance. The constant f/4.0 maximum aperture holds exposure across the zoom range, while the aperture stops down to f/22 for depth-of-field control in bright light.
77mm filter thread and supplied hood
The front accepts 77mm filters, a common size for circular polarisers and ND glass. A petal hood (BH-77B) ships in the box to shield the front element from flare and impact. Molded glass aspherical and ultra-low dispersion elements are used in the optical design to manage distortion and chromatic aberration across the frame.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the lens to my Canon APS-C camera and what step is often missed?
Align the white mount index on the lens barrel with the white index on the Canon EF-S mount, twist clockwise until it clicks, then remove the rear cap before shooting.
What part will need cleaning or replacement after extended use?
The front element accepts 77 mm filters; keep a protector filter fitted and clean the glass with a microfibre cloth when dust appears.
What optical limit appears first when shooting wide open at 12 mm?
Corner sharpness and vignetting are most noticeable at 12 mm f/4.0; stopping down to f/8 improves edge definition across the 19–45 mm equivalent range.
