Today was the testing of the Tokina 12-24mm lens on the Canon 7D in the Nauticam housing using the Nexus M5 port adapter and the Nexus FP160 glass dome. The calculated nodal point for the Tokina 12-24 is 25mm or One inch out front of the housing with the adapter installed.tokina nodal point

This isthe 24mm zoom setting showing marginal pin cushing but still sharp in the corners. These aberations are due to the internal nodal point floating when the lens is zoomed.close-up
