Hi I'm looking for a recommended 11mm-20mm. 11mm would be the starting point, that is recommended for someone just starting out in the wide angle world. I was looking at the tokina 11-16mm I think or was it tamron


thanks, DX ONLY

I've been very happy with the Nikon AF-P DX 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR. Here are some of examples.

Thank you, I will also consider this lens. I respect your opinion

I have the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens, and like it.

Adding/ This is F2.8 fixed, so really don't need a flash at this focal range inside.

Just be aware the AF-P lenses have limited compatibility with your D7100.

https://www.nikonusa.com/images/lea...you/media/nikkor-lens-compatibility-chart.pdf

To be specific on the limitation..
This lens does not have a switch for VR, and the D7100 does not have a menu item for controling this, so the lens would ALWAYS have VR enabled.
AF-P lenses that have a switch for VR like the AF-P 70-300 FX are 100% compatible with the D7100.

fyi. I believe tokina has a newer version of this lens too that has focal length 11-20, but it is also f2.8

That's good to know since the chart I linked doesn't specify the limitation. Thanks!

And when AF-P first came out, Nikon promised a software update to the D7200 to allow the camera to switch off VR via a menu item. Well, we are still waiting for this update Nikon (but I am NOT holding my breath or buying an AF-P lens until Nikon lives up to its promise! )

Seems like they are killing off the F mount now, anyway.
Wow! you have an AF 50 lens? I have that from my old Nikon N2020.

How much more does it cost though? And what's the diff between the 2?

I was looking for something faster than the variable aperture. That lens is also quite inexpensive. Isn't the tokina better lens though?

I just looked at the newer version. It's 2 x the price of the older one used. To be technically accurate there are 3 versions of this lens. Tokina AT-X PRO AF
Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DXII 11-16 f/2.8 is the second edtion. Tokina atx-i 11-16mm f/2.8 is the third edition. Copying and pasting messed up the fonts. I'll live with the older thanks though

@lucien If I had seen this thread, I would have saved a lot of replies. I just asked about a wide lens. I just ordered the Tokina 11-20 f2.8.

 

[lucien]

Np, all things come to those that wait. I would like to see some images from that lens

@lucien I am taking it to an astrophotography workshop first week of September. I sure hope I get a few decent images.
