croweatr Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? Hi all... I'm thinking about buying this lens after reading (mostly positive) reviews elsewhere on the web. Anyone here got first-hand experience with it? Sample images maybe? Cheers from Down Under Kevin Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 05:54 AM

Petrus Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? You can take also Sigma 10-20 under consideration. I posted some sample pics in a neighbour thread. Would be interesting to have this both lenses compared side by side. Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 07:08 AM

fotografur Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? Hi Kevin, I had both and ended up keeping the Tokina. I would of liked the extra 2mm but the Tokina was sharper, built better and just plain nicer. The Canon 10-22 did focus quieter though. I have a Canon. Some pics with it. Mixed in with some from a coolpix 990 http://www.pbase.com/dennislaska/cape_cod Good luck. d~ Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 12:21 PM

condyk Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #7 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? I'd call that Take Superior ... very nice shot from an excellent lens. It's been on my shotlist for a while!! Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 07:43 PM

gugs Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? I really love my Tokina 12-24. My main motivation was price/performance ratio (down here in Europe 2,5 to 3 times less expensive than the Nikon). For what I do I like the fixed f4, the sharpness, the build (glass/metal, robustness), the fast and quiet AF, the weight (quite heavy, nice balance on the camera). A few amateur shots with that lens: Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 09:01 PM

Nice work. By all accounts that Tokina is really great. If I'd gone DX I would have also purchased the Tokina. Since I wanted to maintain FF compatibility, though, I now own the Sigma 12-24, which I have found to be EXCELLENT. Gerald Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 10:03 PM

Chris Hi Chris this was right on the beach near the lighthouse (Splitrock) J Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 11:05 PM

Milkman Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? One of my favorite spots! Are you talking on the other side of the island facing south? No wait, after looking at the picture you are looking back from where the lighthouse sits towards the cove correct? Perilous dragging gear up those rocks, especially in the winter. It's a great picture though. Edited on Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM Aug 22, 2005 at 11:16 PM

Milkman Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #15 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? Ahhh, OK I know where you mean. I love that beach and when I show people pictures of the lake as calm as this they can't believe that it is Lake Superior. All depends on what day you catch her!

croweatr Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #19 · Anyone got a Tokina 12-24 f/4? Thank you all so much! That makes my mind up for me... The Sigma 10-20 and Tamron 11-18 are just a bit to slow for my liking so the Tokina wins. Love the shots posted here - I'm not a landscape photographer, and the work posted here is very inspiring - especially Guy's. Cheers all Kevin Aug 23, 2005 at 04:21 AM
