Product Review
I truly purchased this lens from Amazon as a kit, which included a 77mm low profile UV filter and camera cleaning kit. But given that all of the reviews for this lens are here, I am posting my evaluation here at the same time. I was in the market for a super-wide angle DX lens, and I had originally considered a Nikon 10-24. Then I ran across this lens in numerous critiques that suggested the Tokina may be a terrific alternative. I own several Nikon lenses, and this is the first time I didn't purchase a Nikon lens. I'm really glad I bought the Tokina 11-16 lens. My 1st consideration was the focal length. The cause I am buying the lens is for a super-wide angle, so the 10mm of the Nikon vs. the 11mm of the Tokina was one of the most important concern. Published specifications indicate a 109 Deg Field-of-View for the Nikon, and 104 Deg for the Tokina. Doing a bit of math suggests a 4% wider image for the Nikon. (Read More...)
