[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 569802, member: 6277"] The Tokina 11-16 is a F2.8 so you have to decide if that is important to you. If you plan to do any night shooting that is important. I also used mine in the old factory I am documenting and the 2.8 helps there. It keeps the ISO a little lower which in the DX cameras is very important. The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon is $479 The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II Digital Zoom Lens (AF-S Motor) (for Nikon Cameras) is $449 So the money is about the same. Not sure how much weight you put in DxO mark but here is their take [url=http://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Tokina-AT-X-11-20mm-f-2.8-Pro-DX-Wonderfully-wide/Comparison-Tokina-11-20mm-f-2.8-vs-Nikon-10-24mm-f-3.5-4.5-vs-Sigma-10-20mm-f-3.5]Comparison: Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 vs Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 vs Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 - DxOMark[/url] [/QUOTE]
