It feels very well made, and the focus/focal length rings are nice and solid with a feeling of security. I bought this for my Nikon D90. No particular reason for choosing this over the Mk II other than a saving of $50ish, and the possibility that my camera's focus motor might be quicker than the...

Very nice peice of glass, Sharp, fast.. The focus mode ring is very nice, i prefer it to a switch personally Only thing is it is a bit loud to focus.

The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ATX DX lens, is designed for those who want to photograph ultra-wide on Canon and Nikon APS -C (small-frame sensor) digital cameras. What sets this lens apart from other wide-angle zoom lenses is its fast f/2.8 aperture through its entire range.

A great wide angle lens. I have 5 other lenses and this being the only non-nikon/nikkor. This was much cheaper than the Nikon alternative and all the reviews were quite positive. Build quality is excellent and feels like a real nice solid lens.

-Sharp image quality -very little distortion compared to similar lenses -great quality -focus is quite quick on my D7000 -awesome lens for large landscape shots; and I have also used several times for time delay shots at night for northern lights (I work in N Alberta).

-quite heavy -you will get a shadow when using the DSLR's built in pop up flash because the lens is so wide and large.

I had Nikon D7000 with kit lens and another Nikon lenses. But this one is really an exceptional lens. A super ultra wide angle lens with huge aperture made my wide angle photos awesome and ready to print without much post processing. So happy with this.
