[QUOTE="hark, post: 662038, member: 13196"] Since you mentioned wanting the lens for FX, please keep in mind 14mm is about as wide as you will find although I believe Sigma makes an FX zoom that starts at 12mm (not sure how well it performs). Most ultra wide angle zoom lenses that start at either 11mm or 12mm tend to be for DX. Anything wider than 14mm on FX, you will really start to notice distortion. I love my Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G lens (they also made this as an AF-D lens which doesn't perform well). The cost new is higher than the Tokina and higher than what you are looking for. But the Nikon isn't weather sealed. However, it is an amazing lens! It doesn't have that bulbous front element so it can accept front filters and a regular lens cap. The Rokinon 14mm prime I *think* is a manual lens with an exposure chip. It would fall into your price range new. There are a few members who have posted fantastic images with it. These look to be the only Tokina zoom lenses for FX The one you have as well as a 17mm-35mm are what they show for wide angle FX zooms.
