I was ok with the 11-16 older version because when I bought it I had the D90 so it did autofocus for me on my camera. I bought it thinking I would try and learn landscape photography and see how I like it. Well as it turns out I'm not really into landscapes and doubt I ever will be. I love looking at other people's beautiful landscape images, but I just don't see the shot. Now with that said, I love my Tokina. But I use it for everything but what I purchased it for. I have done some interesting people shots with it (definitely not what it was designed for but was great for Halloween <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ) and use it for night and low light shots, getting up close for still lifes and all kinds of other things. But as stated by eidian, I didn't use it of the purpose intended when I bought it. Even a specific purpose lens is only limited to that specific purpose by your own sense of adventure when testing to see what does and doesn't work for you. Get a lens that works on your camera body. One other thing about the Tokina with that won't AF on your camera, my brother borrowed my lens to try on his D5000. He couldnt' manual focus because everything was too "far away" for him to be able to see if he actually had it in focus properly and the focus indicator didn't work on his camera so he ended up setting it to infinity and hoping for the best. He bought the newer version about 6 months later</blockquote>
