Best WA zoom for DX format

"I purchased this lens for the Nikon D300. Tokina has a solid history of WA zooms and the 11-16mm is the best one followed by 12-24mm f/4. If you need more range then the 12-24mm is a good option.

The Tokina 11-16mm is finally here!!!

"I've used this product for landscape and night photography. This lens wide open is a bit soft but when stopped down it is pretty sharp. My results conflict the previous reviews (@wide aperture). I still need to do more shooting with this lens. Overall, it is a good lens but definitely not what everyone is hyping it up to be (IMHO) but I do intend to keep it. I like the wide end...."

"Even though it's a really wide lens, the 11-16 doesn't shine when you "get it all in" in a really wide vista, but rather when you have something in the foreground that is set against a background that is rendered "too small".



That said, the lens is only a teeny bit soft at f2.8 (TOTALLY useable …"  Read Full Review »

"This lens demonstrated its versatility on a recent 5-week long SE Asia trip where I shot 75% of my ~12,000 photos (got a few good ones in there) with the Tokina 11-16mm. Coupled with a Nikon D300 and set on auto ISO most of the time, the fast f2.8 aperture on this lens surprised me with its ability …"  Read Full Review »

"I use this mostly for indoor photography, which is why the 2.8 aperture was so important.



The super wide angle with low distortion is a definite plus.



Photos have great color and contrast.



At 2.8, the lens is a little soft, which I understand is par for the course as this focal length. Wit …"  Read Full Review »
