It took me a while to get used to it. When I bought the tokina, the temptation was to shoot everything ultra wide, even when it didn’t need to be. So I didn’t get good results at first as I was using it wrong. Once I calmed down a bit with it, and used it in the right situations, I started to love it. For the price I think it’s a good buy. It’s sharp, though not as sharp as my Sigmas. I haven’t used any other ultra wide lens though, so can’t comment on how it compares to rival lenses.Ooh lovely, I have serious glass envy. And I thought I had some decent kit! I bought my body second hand, low shutter count and mint so no worries there. I used to buy second hand kit all the time. Nikon gear tends to last, even if it looks battered it's usually optically ok.
What's the tokina like? I've heard mixed reviews?
At the moment though, I like telephoto landscapes more, so the tokina isn’t even getting in my bag at all (pre-covid19!). Not a reflection on the lens though, just the photos I want to take.
