I recently purchased this lens because I wanted a fast (f/2.8), quality wide-angle zoom for my Nikon D90. I couldn't justify forking out the money for the brand-name lens so I did a whole lot of homework and opted for this Tokina lens.
Excellent value for the quality and performance.
Announced in July 2010, Tokina's AF 16-28mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro SD FX is the first in a new generation of ultra-wide angle lenses for cameras with 35mm-sized imagers. There's no point in buying this lens for a camera with an APS-C sized sensor because it's big and bulky and there are plenty of lighter...
The 16-28 f/2.8 uses a newly developed silent DC motor that allows the lens to focus faster and more quietly then previous generations. The DC motor coupled with a new GMR magnetic AF sensor work together to increase AF Speed.
Tokina did a great job with this lens. Debated a long time over Nikon 17-35mm - but landed here. I previously owned the Nikkor 14-24mm, so carrying this around is no problem. save your money over Nikon. Newest version has nice cap and ass gasket.
Sharp; fast 2.8 ; build; focus is fast and accurate
2.8 at 28mm; flare with long exposures
Value for money really good. Filters work well, but want to build a holder itself. Low-priced Chinese Cokin X model.
Very sharp; beautiful color; low distortion and vinjeting
Heavy Front screen difficult to clean and scratches easily
