Selling my set of high speed Cine zooms. This is one of them.
Tokina Cinema ATX 11-20mm T2.9 Wide-Angle Zoom Lens (EF Mount)
(check my other listings for the other Sigma 18-35mm, and the Sigma 50-100 T2)
These are serious lenses for cine camera packages, and work on cameras with sensors that are Super35 and smaller.
This lens, as with the others, has been used fewer than 10 times. Which is why I'm selling it, honestly.
I'm just not using it. I use the old canon L-Glass for most of our stuff still. So, these are essentially in "Brand New" condition.
