Great Lens
"I purchased this lens to photograph a wedding in an old very small church. I am old school and I am used to using a 2 1/4" square with a 65mm which would be the equivalent of a 35mm on a 35mm. I have never purchased a Nikon lens that did not exceed my expectations and this lens is the same. I was looking at the Tokina 12-24 as well and spoke with a friend about this and he told me the same thing. “He has nev..." Read Full Review »

great lense, just not for the price
"You have to be very careful to shoot level or you get alot of distortion on the edges. I would have gone with a cheaper brand for a few reasons. The price is too high for such a limited lense, and It is f/4 great but it's only 12-24 focal length. But It does work great for landscapes, buildings and fireworks...." Read Full Review »

"Well my TOKINA 124 PRO was for the CANON 20D and I want to tell you that this lens is very impressive in it's construction and performance. I wanted a reasonable priced constant F/stop
Wide angle zoom lens for my CANONS that was "built like a tank" and had quality reliable optics.

"Although this is marked as a DX lens, this works great in the 18-24mm range on a 35mm camera, with no vignetting, and great IQ. I tried it on film, I can't afford a D700.The zoom action is smooth, with no resistance. The focus ring has no dead zone, and the AF-S is much quieter than, say the 70-300m …" Read Full Review »

"I purchased the Tokina for two reasons. The first is that I have always used Nikon lenses, and they are great, but you need to pay $1,000 or more for one. I was heading out on a photo trip to Utah and wanted something wider than the 18-70mm zoom that I had. Nikon had a 12-24 f4.0 that cost around …" Read Full Review »
