Comments about Tokina Tokina 10mm - 17mm F/3.5-4.5 DX Autofocus Fisheye Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras:

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.

Comments about Tokina Tokina 10mm - 17mm F/3.5-4.5 DX Autofocus Fisheye Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras:

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.

Comments about Tokina Tokina 10mm - 17mm F/3.5-4.5 DX Autofocus Fisheye Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras:

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.

Comments about Tokina Tokina 10mm - 17mm F/3.5-4.5 DX Autofocus Fisheye Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras:

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.
