[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 73450, member: 16"] OK......first things first. Congrats on your new D3200. Nice camera. should serve you well for years to come. Though not in the pro category, it's still a pretty decent camera. Your Nikon has a 1.5 crop factor...not 1.6...so that would make the 70-210 equivalent to 105-315. Nothing wrong with that at all. :) If I was choosing between the two lenses you listed, I would opt for the Tokina. Better build, better glass, better quality. Either of these two lenses is made for outdoor photography during daylight hours. Not good for low light situations unless using a flash. If you ever opt to buy Nikon lenses, get the AF-S models. You will thank me for this advice later. :) Enjoy your camera...experiment....and practice, practice, practice. :) [/QUOTE]
