Tokina Blows Nikon Away!
by John D. Sims from Dallas Texas
Rating: 
I was a pure Nikon professional for 25 years.
Systems used: F3, F5, D-200, D-300. In retirement I presently have the D-300 w/17-55 DX F2.8 and 70-200 DX F2.8 VR. Now looking for a super wide I was about to purchase a Nikkor 12-24 mm F4 DX. In fact I had ordered the lens on the web.
The same day I saw the latest test results on the Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 ATX Pro. I called my web dealer back to cancel the Nikon order and could find only one ATX Pro DX lens locally.
After making calls around the country and learning how hot this lens was selling, I drove to the dealer and bought the Tokina ATX at almost half the price of the Nikkor 12-24mm F4 DX.
Now using the ATX all I can say is it looks sharper than any of my super zooms by Nikon. The ATX is simply outstanding in every way. Color quality and resolution are a real blow out!
Nikon or Canon owners, if you do not have a Tokina 11mm-16mm ATX Pro Dx, you are missing a real photographic bloody good show.
