Hey all,

Just made my first "real" lens purchase... wondering what everyone thinks of this lens and the combination with the D80?

Greatly appreciate the feedback.
 
The Tokina 11-16 is a great lens, enjoy.
 
It should give you a really wide angle of view. If that's what you're looking for, then it should be a good match.
 
Basically, I was looking for a wide lens without killing my wallet. I know a lot of people bash Ken Rockwell, and I tend to agree that he hangs off the backside of Nikon, but he gave this a pretty solid review and recommended it over the Nikon 10-24mm. I know the 12-24mm Nikon is the best lens out there but at 1200 bucks and the fact that I am shooting in DX format the Tokina seemed like a good choice. I am excited, 600 dollars poorer now though =(
 
Yep the tokina is first choice followed closely by the Sigma 10-20.
And yep if wide is the intent then you did well choosing the tokina.

Tokina 11-16 does quite well even compared to any of the Nikon lenses. I think for the price and build quality everyone should have one!

these posts are certainly making me feel a lot better... I couldn't find a demo lens to even hold, never mind check out on any body. It was a little nerve wracking throwing down a CC for something I only had the chance to read about.
 
I was amazed/surprised/honored to have a photograph published in National Geographic magazine with this set up (D80/Tokina 11-16). Infact all my latest favorites on my site seem to be with this lens. It's brilliant and I can't recommend it enough.

Pete
