For vast open landscape photography or shooting the Milky Way galaxy, there is no other lens that is better than this in this price range. I used it on a cross country trip and it performed stunningly. The lens produces very crisp and professional quality images.

Lens arrived' well packed and in very good condition. I have been using it and am well pleased with the results and consider this a very good buy.

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.

I must buy for anyone into landscapes, real estate etc, a bit of a steal at this price.

Superb image quality; wide; wide; wide!! Used on a Nikon d7100 I'm chuffed to bits at the stunning quality of this lens

A bit heavy after a few hours; a tad soft/blurry at 2.8

I specifically called BVI prior to ordering this lens through the BB Marketplace and asked if it came with the USA warranty and after being put on...

International Warranty ~ Not US as Promised

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.

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...

Excellent Lens, Love it and worth it, For my humble D60, this lens is worth it, and I can also use it for D90 if I have enough $ to upgrade my Nikon.

The Tokina 11-16mm offers a rather limited focal range but it makes up for this in speed, offering a fixed aperture of f/2.8 throughout. It also has no focusing motor so can be fairly noisy during operation, which means it won't autofocus on Nikon entry-level D-SLRs.

I bought this lens because I wanted an UWA. I've had and owned a few UWA and have reviewed them on this website. But I never owned a fast UWA like this at f2.8, and I gotta say that it does make a difference. What I don't like about this lens is the short zoom range.

Fast aperture; fast focusing; tough build

very short zoom range; flare
