[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 248775, member: 10784"] Howdy... I assume you have looked through the thread a but.. and have seen some of my photos with it.. Lets see if I can cover it all... Wise Purchase?? To me yes!! Looking at the ad, it looks just like mine. I paid 300 new for mine off ebay but that has been while back... used only once or twice, in as new... 275 seems fair.. Obviously take your camera and try it.. It should focus fine on your 7000 but if you have another camera (I have a 5100) it may only be in manual focus. Ted got his first, and turned me on to the 12-24. (I bought mine from the same guy he did) What about the 11-16?? That is what I really wanted but also could not afford it. This was affordable to me and the quality of images has met with both mine and Ted's need. Reviews will likely give a nod to the 11-16 but for me, this meets my needs and more.. Couple thoughts beyond image... I loose a mm (11-12) but gain on the other end (24-16) so to me it is actually a little more versatile due to the increased range, (my opinion). I like it, it is very good general UW for my needs... No regrets... if they were both the same price, I would have gone 11-16 but I do not see enough gain for the price difference For ME Understand, you need to google wide angle and learn abit about HOW to use these lens... things can be different as to your composition!! :) (fun once you learn!)
