[QUOTE="PaulWog, post: 314254, member: 25930"] Thanks for all the responses. I've received some very good input, lots of great advice overall, and I've got a number of things to consider now. I think I may very well go with the Tokina 11-16mm. In fact, the only thing holding me back is worries of lens variation / focus calibration. I'm not sure if I'll buy used or go new, I'll have to make a decision when I get around to it. I'll reconsider some of my other options which have been recommended to me. To answer a couple other things: I think I want to go full frame because of how it changes my lens lineup. My 50mm becomes far more useful, and so does my 85mm. Yes, I could size down to smaller lenses, but there's definite trade-offs. There's that, and then there's also better ISO performance, better focusing, and the fact that moving from my D5200 I will get focus fine tune on a full frame. With that all said, it's a bit of a silly purchase at the moment. The older my D5200 gets, and the better new technology becomes, the more of a reasonable purchase full-frame becomes. It might sound really silly, but my 85mm 1.8G is one of the big reasons I want to move to full frame. To answer PaulPositions's question: On a full frame, 14mm is extremely wide. 16mm is still very wide. An 11mm lens on a full frame would be ridiculous (that's more fisheye territory, which isn't exactly landscape). [/QUOTE]
