Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received my Tokina 12-24mm DXII wide angle lens very quickly.I could not wait to put it through some paces even though I was hesitant at first to try anything but Nikon lenses.I use a Nikon D90 and this lens is flawless with it.The auto focus is very quiet and responsive.I ran it through the gamut of fstops at every setting from 12mm to 24mm.My results indicate that it is a little soft wide open but quickly sharpens as you progress through the settings.At 14-15 mm seems to be very sharp.The colors are true and vibrant.I took over a hundred pictures at church, mostly outside, both in the shade and sunshine.I did not see any distortion or chromatic aberrations.If there were any, my camera must have corrected them automatically.I probably should mention I compared this lens to my Nikon 18-105mm with VR, side by side and picture for picture, at all settings.The Tokina is actually sharper at 18mm than the Nikon 18-105.Up to and including 24mm, they both were very good.This was a pleasant surprise to me and I would not hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone who might being trying to decide whether to purchase it.
