Default New Tokina 11-16mm lens...finally
Finally got my Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 lens this week after waiting months for it to be available and couldn't wait to test it out. While cruising through one of the local Connecticut towns in the late afternoon I stumbled upon this pond...hope the home owner doesn't mind

Yes, I believe I will enjoy this lens...this is our fourth lens for our Nikon, and it nicely fills the void we had down in the ultra wide end...it renders stunning colors

Awesome capture! Beautiful photo. I think I need an ultra wide too, I love landscape photography mostly, so I think I deserve one!

Nice. I love my tokina 12-24 F4. I wish they had this lens available when I got my 12-24, otherwise I probably would have gotten it instead.

Thank you. This lens was so well rated and because of that, you'll have to wait for one. I started the process back in July on B&H's please advise when it comes in list, and just got it this week! It's available for both Nikon and Canon mounts...what do you shoot with?

...a little limited on the zoom range, but nice to have F/2.8 when you need it
