Thanks for the kind comments. It's probably a case of GAS. I'll see what Nikon comes out with over the next year or two. If in doubt, don't buy anything :)

Hi all, I'm trying to decide whether or not to take an extra lens with me on a three week European trip. I'm definitely taking the Tokina 11-20 f2.8 and the Nikon AF-P 18-55. My question mark is ...

I'm considering making the jump to full frame. I've always been a Nikon DX shooter - see my travel photography here: www.stevenjamesmartin.com It seems as though the 'entry level' FX body is the ...

My Nikon 10-20 seems to preform better than many of these examples. The examples that are excessively worse than the Nikon 18-55 or Tokina seem like they have something else going on with them. Or ...

Ah - that makes it a lot more understandable why people are choosing it then. Also $307 is equivalent to around £236, so it's a lot cheaper in the US than in the UK. Yep, it does seem as though ...

OK, so it's possible to make the Nikkor 10-20 acceptable, but it's still not as sharp as the Tokina is it. A more concerning issue is images 8018 vs 8021, and the full image 6/6 above, where the ...

FYI I've posted a review and decided that I'll be returning it. See other threads in this forum.

It is good enough for me as a travel wide and that's how I'll use it. It has better IQ than my smartphone which is what I'd be using if my only DSLR travel option was the D810 + 14-24. I take your ...

Glad you like the look of the Tokina images. I have to say I'm disappointed with the 10-20mm. It hit all of the criteria I expected except the most important - image quality. Having said that, ...

Following on from my other post about sample images, I've written up a review of the new Nikon 10-20mm, comparing it to the Tokina 11-20mm f2.8. You can download eight RAW files to compare yourself ...

A final set of comparison images - 100% JPEGs. Tokina definitely sharper. 1 2 3 4 5 6.

Let me know which ones you'd like and I'll add them to Dropbox. The files are large so I only want to add a few!

Yeah I agree something isn't right there. Ignore that last one.

I've gone out and taken a few further samples. After my first post I was 80-20 leaning towards keeping the Nikon and returning the Tokina. Now I've switched around - the Tokina is loud, slow at ...

How do I provide RAW files? I'm happy to. To be honest I'm trying to decide which lens to keep, definitely leaning towards the Tokina it's definitely better in regards to image quality. See my ...

Hi all, I finally received my copy of the new Nikon 10-20mm lens today, and have taken some initial indoor test shots. A few tentative conclusions. 1. It's tiny and portable, perfect for travel ...

Comparing to reviews of the Tokina 11-20, the Tokina does seem to marginally edge it in terms of sharpness. As the wider aperture doesn't really matter to me as I don't tend to shoot in low light ...

I'm picking up my copy tomorrow. I will do some tests versus my Tokina 11-20 and post the results

Exactly, I absolutely thought it'd be nice to buy from a shop. I'm not a huge fan of Amazon, but their returns policy is ridiculously good. It's a shame but given the comparison I'll end up buying ...
