I loved this lens, but when I upgraded to a full frame I had to sell it. This lens did some amazing astro shots, and as a architecture and landscapes lens it worked fantastic.

Great Wide Angle Lens

This lens works very well at an affordable price. The fixed aperture is great for a shallow depth of field, even at a wider angle. It is a little heavy at 1.2 pounds, but is still small enough to travel with.

My main complaint is that I can't use the manual focus ring in autofocus mode, I have to choose one or the other.

Great lens for price

Was looking out for a wide angle lens for my D7200. Great pictures with the lens, will be my go to lens for portraits.. Details are much appreciable, and works flawless with my Nikon D7200.

Great Lens - perfect for my Nikon D7200

Great lens for wide angle. used on it on Nikon D750 and works well, Its ok DX lens on FX and still works great .

Great Ultra wide

I got this lens because the price dropped and I didn't have anything wider than the kit zoom lens for my Nikon D3400. I am even more excited than I expected, on my cropped sensor, the difference is very distinctive, the constant 2.8 aperture is great and also the lens is of very good overall quality (performance, image and build quality). I believe it's great value.

Auto focus is very good and fast in my hobbyist experience, and much more silent than my Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX.

One thing I must note is that it's by far the heaviest of my lenses. I can only compare it to the kit 75-300  lens, it's not that long and doesn't extend that much, but it's definitely larger in diameter and heavier, overall more bulky. Also, I would probably prefer a manual focus switch rather than the ring mechanism, but it still works perfectly fine, maybe I just need to get used to it.

Great value for money, definitely recommended!

Amazing lens, great quality and value!

Great

Wasn't quite sure how the lens will turn out, but after a few sessions, its slowly becoming my favorite!! 

For wide landscape shots, the F-stop is a cherry on top

So far so great

Came in short order and was well packed.  It's a gift so I can't comment on quality.

So far OK

I have wanted this lens for a very long time and finally got it!  Love it!  Adorama can't be beaten for price!

Great Lens!

‘‘Tis the season “

This is an amazing wide angle lens..very affordable range. Adorama gave discount upon this too.. 

Takes sharp amazing photos!! One of my fav for landscape and family photos too..

Amazing experience with Adorama always.. Seemless shopping and trust on the sale and item description.

High quality sharp images and a seemless shopping experience

Build quality is great for this price point and photos, at least on a cropped sensor, have minimal distortion.

Perfect lens for real estate photography

I purchased this lens for astro photography and it has performed very well. I have enjoyed learning to frame photos to best use of the wide angle. I found I could have done as well with a fixed focus at 11mm. The 2.8 f stop is great for Milky Way shots. I was able to get a 180° sky show in only 5 exposures.

Very good lens

This lens is surprisingly fine.Sharp and as you stop down to about f8 to f11 edge sharpness and focus is very good, even excellent. The zoom range is not so great to create distortion at all focal lengths. I also really llike the depth of field scale and the manual or auto focus options. It has a lot of bang for the buck

This lens is surprisingly fine

I'm an amateur photographer with minimal experience, testing the waters. I find this lens to be great for photography while hiking, although it is a bit heavy. It takes good photos but also tends to overexpose everything. Obviously there are ways to deal with that, so it's not a deal breaker. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Great for landscape photos

Great lense good price. Works well for architecture photography.  Would recommend it covers areas well.

Recommend, great lense for the price

I love this lens. Rented it before buying just to try it out and fell in love. Hoping to do more property photos with this but also use it for some fun portrait sessions

Excellent Lense

An incredible Lens for landscapes and interiors

Incredible 

I took this lens and a rented Nikon 10 to 24 mm to Sedona Arizona.  Although the extra range of the Nikon was sometimes more convenient, it was not worth the extra cost. Image quality and build quality was comparable on both lenses.  I am very happy with this lens and Adorama’s price made it too good to pass up.  This is a great addition to my gear bag and I would recommend this lens to anyone looking for a great white angle for landscape photography. Also, the 2.8 makes it great for indoor shoots with low lighting.

Love It

I was Leary about a 3rd party lens, but I'm loving this one for sure...and it dudnt break the bank either.Mainlybusing for video on my Canon T7i and couldnt be happier with it.

GREAT LENS FOR A GREAT PRICE!

Fantastic lens - works great right out of the box and I’m looking forward to landscape shots with it.

Great lens

I use this lens for wide angle shots as well as star trails and International Space Station shots.  Does a wonderful job!

Excellent lens!

So far this has been a very good product.  Just started taking pictures with it and learning how to use it.

Good Product with wide view

This lens turned out to be exactly what I needed to photograph interiors. It works perfectly with my aging but reliable Nikon D7000.The f2.8 aperture is fantastic when you need it. The build quality of this Tokina is superior to budget Nikon offerings.Best of all this lens is VERY sharp. So there is no compromise with image quality. It takes a while to get used to pulling the focus ring down and out for manual focus-and remembering to push it back Up for autofocus. But after using this lens for a couple weeks it's now second nature.Whatever APS camera platform you're using this lens is impressive and perfect on your budget. I truly wish I had bought this lens a year ago!

Perfect for home interiors and creative landscape

Bought this lens for astrophotography and landscapes. I’ve only used it once so far at night but it should work well. Lets in more light than my other lenses.

Looking forward to the photo ops.

Very nice, built like a tank. I usually buy Nikon lenses but with all the good reviews for the Tokina and the $ compared to the Nikon lens I couldn't justify the extra $. It is very sharp at all zoom levels. The build quality is evident as soon as you pick it up. I'm glad I chose Tokina for this particular lens.

Very nice

This lens is heavier than I’ll used to, but I can put up with that. So far, I’m liking it. I got it for night photography, which I have yet to try. The lens hood was hard to take off, there’s a trick. Go to YouTube to check out how.

So far, liking lens

This is the lens I have been waiting for!  I love the smooth action and the clarity.

Smooth and Clear

This lens does not disappoint.  The difference between a kit lens and this is absolutely incredible.  If you're serious about taking good photographs this lens is a must.  Great for landscapes and so much more.

Great Lens

Bought it for a wider option on my C100 and it seems to do the job.  Very little distortion.  The only thing I could ask for is FF comparability and IS, but the best part of this was the price, which wouldn’t happen with Thise features.  Solid, inexpensive lens.
