Comparing images of both lenses, the Tamron has a more bulbous front element than the Tokina. Due to that, I wouldn't be surprised if the Tamron has more lens flare, and since you are looking for nightscapes, I'm not sure how well it would perform in comparison to the Tokina. If you will be taking nighttime city scenes, undoubtedly there will be lots of lights.Plus the Tokina is equivalent to around 16.5mm of an FX lens whereas the Tamron on a DX body is equivalent to 22.5mm. So the Tokina will yield a wider view and might be very useful for astrophotography as Peter7100 mentioned.Looking forward to seeing images taken with it. :cheerful:</blockquote>
