Great wide angel lens.

auto focus works great than i expected. faster than NIKON D series lens. both lens don't have a internal motor. but this lens looks like toy..compared with nikon lens...cheap lens look...doesn't look like any nikon lens.. but it's ok... overall i can say OK..photo image is sharp and crisp.

Great lens. Have taken some long exposure night photos with this lens. Sturdy built. Will recommend this for all those who love photography.

High quality built.

After much research and reading many online reviews I chose the Tokina over the Nikon. This decision was largely made because of cost with the Nikon lens being so much more expensive.

I used this lens on a Canon 500D/T1i body. The build quality of this lens is that of a TANK! Feels solid, but feels like it outweighs an entry-level body. I adjusted to it, and never had a problem with it.

Image quality; tough build; zoom range; constant aperture F4

my lens crapped out on me; slow aperture F4

Picture quality is up there with the best and build quality is superior to Nikon's 10-24. The constant f4 is a pro feature. The zoom and focus rings have a smooth and well dampened feel and the lens is a delight to use. It will also stand up to the knocks it is likely to get out on the street.

Durable; Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls

The Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X PRO DX II provides a narrow field-of-view, and a full-frame equivalent of 18-36mm. The lens features 13 elements in 11 groups with two aspherical elements designed to reduce chromatic aberration. The f/4 maximum aperture is constant throughout the zoom range.
