Great lens. I bought it for underwater photography but have not had a chance to get it in the water. On land it does very well.

This lens is outstanding for wide angle underwater photography, the reason I bought it. I use it behind an 8" dome with my Canon SL3 and it has produced some awesome photos. The only lens wider is a canon 8 - ?? and for the difference this lens is well worth it. Quick to focus and provides plenty of light.

Not a bad lens but not as good as new canon 8-15mm. Built nicely and performed well while i had it. I had no major issues with it, id recoment it for any intermediate photographers with an aps-c cam. Definately afordable and reliable.

I use it sparingly as it's a nice effect for 2 or 3 images during a wedding such as room/table shots, church shots, large group shots (but too many would be overkill). It's also fun for funky landscapes.

Strictly u/w photography - works well on wide angle under water shots. It is suppose to work on macro photos as well - will try this next time I dive. It covers a very wide area and is easy to use. I use it on Canon 50D camera in a SeaSea housing. This lens is suppose to work with other models as well - suggest you check with camera manufacturer to make sure it will work on other models.

I bought this lens mainly for underwater use, after a web research in wich I found excelents reviews. I have the nikkor fisheye 16 and wanted to recover the angle I lost in using this lens in DX format camera. For underwater it is great to have the posibility to go from a 10 mm fisheye to a super wide 17 in the same dive. The pictures resulting after many dives are beautiful in terms of color and sharpness. I also took some videos with the Nikon D7000 and the result is excelent. For topside photography I found it also great. If you use it in 17 mm the usual curved lines of the fisheye are minimal so you can use it as a super wide angle also.

I use this for that "different look", in HDR, Sports, and weddings.

I use this lens mostly for underwater inside an underwater housing connected to my D300. I really like the coverage. Fast focus.

Great UW lens for my Canon 7D- I use it in an Aquatica housing.

Zoom feature was nice, other brands were fixed focal length.

Great for special effect scenics and closeup shooting. Some closeups I took of flowers show sharp detail with a nicely defocused background. The zoom on a fisheye is unique and handy. Very sharp across the field except at the extreme edges where it doesn't really matter. There is some purple fringing on backlit branches and similar subjects, but it's easy to fix in processing.

I use the lens for underwater wide angle shots. Great lens, gets lots of cool shots you cant with other lenses. Cool effect above water too.

I'm very glad i purchased this lens. I was debating between the nikkor 10.5 or this. I like the fact that i can zoom out to 17mm and lessen the amount of "curvature" i get if i need. It's less cash than the nikon as well.You can always correct the barrel distortion with photoshop/Capture nx if you want straight lines. I use this on a Nikon D300 and paired with the nikkor 18-200VR im pretty much covered. It is built akin to a nikkor 50 1.4D but a little heavier. I use this for sports and weddings. If you want a fisheye, seriously consider the tokina and save yourself some cash rather than the nikkor.

Very sharp images and excellent image quality---IF you have software to knock down the pronounced chromatic aberration (I shoot RAW and edit with Canon Digital Photo Professional). For landscapes, the zoom feature is unique and outstanding. My most used lens for Alaska landscapes and very close up effects. A great lens if you appreciate fisheye and wide angle lens capabilities.

I wanted a fisheye for my trip to France, esp for landscape shots while in the French Alps. This lens worked out great! I was surprised at how heavy duty the casing was when I first got it, which made me feel more comfortable lugging it around with me. It would have been nice to have a rear filter placement, but the zoom capability was really good to have! Did get some great pictures with it.

I've only had this lens a short time, but so far it's been a lot of fun. It seems durable, but I haven't put it to through a lot of rigorous use yet.

Is a very good lens for use in underwater photography

Recently used it on a sailboat cruise, and it was great! It gets everything in and greatly expands tight spaces. I plan on using it for additional effects at weddings. I used a fisheye on film cameras before, but when I moved to a crop frame digital camera, it cut off the really wide & wild effect. It's very nice to have it back again.

Wouldn't be without it - just in case

this is a great lens, very fun to work with. But it has limited use.. not everything looks good with the fisheye look (Great if you want to take skate, bmx photos) Also it's a great lens to have instead of the Canon 15mm fisheye since most camera bodys have a 1.6 crop, meaning the 15mm wouldn't look like much of a fisheye on a cropped sensor. And this lens will work on a cropped sensor, and a full frame (you'd just set the zoom at 15mm) All in all, great fun lens.

I'm using this on a Nikon D200. Between this lens and the 18-200 VR I can accomplish 99% of what I want to for "walk-around" photography. Keep in mind that it is a fisheye so you get typical image distortion, however the sharpness was a pleasant surprise! The zoom capability is also a very nice feature for a fisheye. The lens construction is very good (typical Tokina Pro). I highly recommend this lens if you're looking for a fisheye or maybe even a super-wide.
