Great wide angle lens. I was looking for a prime wide angle for my Nikon, this Tokina is a great choice, the lens is very durable, well constructed and very sharp. I had always like Tokina lenses and this one is no exception. This is the perfect lens for landscapes, it is fast enough for every image, at f/3.5 is great. It does not have internal motor focus system.
Great lens Very pleased. Very little to no barrel distortion. Images seem sharp.
Great Glass. Good for indoors with or without flash! phenomenal bit of glass!
