[QUOTE="Phillydog1958, post: 215017, member: 8704"] When I purchased my 16-35, at a local camera shop, I was also trading in my last DX lens. While waiting for the salesman to examine my lens, he let me play with the the 16-35 for a few minutes. Then he pulls out the 14-24, in an attempt to "up sell" me. I played with both for over 30 minutes. The 14-24 is an impressive lens, but that bulbous front bothered me. I feared that I would damage it. Plus, it was just out of my price range. I like my 16-35. It's sharp and has VR. Many feel that you don't need VR on wide-angled lenses, but it does come in handy for shooting in low-light conditions. That's how Nikon justifies adding VR to a wide angle lens. Some argue that it's almost as sharp as the 14-24. You can't go wrong with either. I'm not familiar with the Tokina or Sigma. [/QUOTE]
