The 16-28 is very sharp and has very low distortion, just lacks the knockout punch of color and contrast of the Nikon equivalents. For real estate, it should work great.
Thanks Jason, That verifies what I was thinking.

true on tokina 16-28 - very nice lens.
You can also consider:
-Nikon 17-35 f2.8 ( older but build like a tank - poor corner sharpness performer )
Thanks Oleg, I'm going to consider a used 17-35 because sometimes 16mm is a little wide on the crop body for exterior shots and since the shots are resized to 640 x 640 for the MLS, 17mm on FX is probably wide enough for interior. However, $1000 used is still a little pricey.

I've been shooting a Tokina 16-28/2.8 on my D800 and D600 for a few weeks now. It's sharp in the center at 2.8 on both ends. It really needs f5.6 for the corners though, especially at 16mm. Distortion and CA are well controlled (even into the corners). I do occasionally see some odd flare with point light sources.
Thanks Josh for detailed description, Nice photo. Glad to know it will also be a good landscape lens. I'm going to be in Wilmington for a day in a few weeks, I may PM you for some suggestions on Wildlife/BIF photo opts. once I have a chance to do some research.

you might want an option to use a polarizer for reflections doing real estate work.
Thanks Mike, I'll have to look in to that. Normally I can use other methods.
