[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 569702, member: 25183"] I've just reluctantly sold a couple of family heirlooms that see no use and would like to put the £270 towards a wide angle lens for my D7100 but also potentially for my/wifes D3200 too. My overall budget is around £350 and I've all but made my mind up about getting a Tokina 11-16mm but which one?? and the Sigma 10-20mm F/3.5 and Tokina 11-20 haven't been completely ruled out. My main dilemma is between the older DX version with no focus motor or the DX II version. Optically is there any real difference? The three options I'm looking at are: New/grey from HDEW __________________________11-16mm DX II - £345 Used from reputable dealer with 6 month warranty__11-16mm DX II - £304 Used from reputable dealer with 6 month warranty__11-16mm DX - £269 Both used lenses are listed as excellent condition with "only an extremely minor amount of dust within the lens". I'm very tempted by the older 11-16mm but the inability to AF on the D3200 is holding me back a little but manual focus for landscapes wouldn't be a major headache I guess and I don't know how much use it would get on that body anyway. The positive reason to get the older version is I'll have money left over to buy a Kenko 1.4TC 300 Pro. Anyway, I'm really interested in your thoughts, whether that be telling me getting the older one is a mistake for reason x or just to vote on which option you would go for. Thanks [/QUOTE]
