Wide angle lens for a D80?

[Digidave]

This is a lens that just keeps getting snatched up quickly. This is where I bought mine & you can put your name in to be e-mailed when they have them in stock. I don't know how often they get them in but it's another option to watch. Good luck!!

Out of curiosity, I just Googled it & found that Buydig.com has them in stock. Never bought anything from them but Reseller rating looks promising.

That is definitely the case at f/4, which makes sense as that is wide open for the Nikon and slightly stopped down for the Tokina. Are you thinking of the older Tokina 12-24? That one is also a good lens, but a very different beast.

I know 3 people that own the Tokina 12-24, and all say it's as good if not better than the Nikon version as far as being sharp.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't, but I think Osmosis was reading from the Ken Rockwell post about ultrawides when he posted. Just wanted to clarify that Tokina makes two excellent ultrawides!
