I posted this on the Blackmagic forum earlier today. there have been many reports that the Canon mount Tokina 11-16mm lens does not focus to infinty so I wanted to check my Nikon mount version on the BMCC. Yesterday between a few production meeting I got a chance to shoot some test footage with the Tokina 11-16mm Nikon mount. Nothing scientific and the conditions were typical for London in the winter with a light mist/haze. I shot the same scene with the Carl Zeiss ZF.2 to uses as reference. On the Tokina was turned to full infinity and then back just a touch. I'm happy with the result from the Tokina. Shot wide open and then again at about f8. As I was shooting with a simple set-up exposure was controlled with L.W.C. Fader-ND MKII (not ideal, would use a matte box and high grade NDs for production work). Exposure was based on the in camera zebras. I set them to 100% and then used the Fader-ND to lower the exposure until no zebras were visible (except the sun it's self). A few DNGs can be downloaded here, includes notes: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6460491/BM...dl.dropbox.com/u/6460491/BMCC_Tokina_test.zip Attached images are simple grades done in Lightroom just for reference. Download the DNGs and have a play. Tokina at 11mm f2.8 Tokina at 16mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss ZF.2 35mm at f2
