Wide Angle DX Lens Comparison

[abybryan]

any thoughts on the sigma 8-16mm? thanks!

[QQQQcon]

@abybryan havent used it. I will see if I can sometime

[trotty68]

The reason why people buy Sigma,Tamron and Tokina is because there much cheaper than the Nikon.

I have the Nikon 10-24mm and it is the sharpest lens and expensive out of the 5 lenses,

always buy the best if you can afford it.

[trotty68]

Nikon 10-24mm Lens is the best out of all 5 lenses.

[00Q]

Could I ask why you have so many wide angle lenses?? Is it just an obsession due to obsession to landscape? I think if I had that much cash, id spend on some other stuff :)

[QQQQcon]

@00Q I dont own them, rented in order to review.

[TheMiszerak]

lol 6:41 bang+buck=bong!!

[GingerSnapShots]

thanks for the reviews!

[Boggs]

hi there! i have a Nikon D90 and i focus my photography on Travel and Landscape. which among the lenses here is better for everyday use? i mean shoot here and there, eveywhere! i don't want to collect a lot of lenses, just the ones i need for the field of interest i want. please give me the right choice so that i could buy the right one(s) already. thanks!

[jokosuryo1254]

thanks

[awboater]

Seems to me that the Tokina 11-16 would excel for both low-light and landscape photography. Unless you need the 24mm length, why would the 11-16 not be a good choice for low-light and landscape?

[QQQQcon]

@awboater if you shoot low light without a tripod then the 11-16mm is a better choice but for ONLY landscape where a large f/stop is rarely used or needed the tokina 12-24mm is a better choice

[awboater]

@QQQQcon Why; because it has a 24mm long end?

I realize that tripods are often used for landscapes, but it seems to me that the 11-16mm would suffice for both uses, without having the need to buy both lenses.

What about the 11-16mm is a disadvantage?

For the record, I own the 11-16mm, and I did buy it over the Nikon 10-24 in part because of your reviews. I do take a lot of interior photos (cruise ships), but also often use the lens for landscape. And my kit lens starts at 18mm.

[sharksmaster]

hi,

i am using d90 with tamron 10-24mm but i got some bad sharpness on corners.

nikkor 10-24mm to expensive so i am stuck with tokina 11-16, tokina 10-24 and sigma 10-20.

please advise.

[romeo8627]

Nice video. Thank you very much! :)

What is the difference between version 1 and version 2 of Tokina 12-24mm??

[lg123xyz]

Which would you recommend for interior photography on my D7000? I would like to shoot images inside a chalet which is pretty cramped and low light... need also to shoot a fireplace, thanks!

[QQQQcon]

@lg123xyz tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

[lg123xyz]

@QQQQcon Thanks, should I worry about distortion and the 'fish-eye' effect of such a wide lens or better off with Tokina 12-24?

[QQQQcon]

@lg123xyz because of the shorter focal length the 11-16mm has less distortion than other wide angle lenses, like the 12-24mm.

[lg123xyz]

Was there a reason you included the Nikon 10-24m instead of the Nikon 12-24mm in this group?

[Dam262a]

does the tokina 12-24mm work with the d40? like as in the focus? i know the sigma 10-20 does not sure on the tokina tho

[QQQQcon]

@Dam262a the version two of the lens will work on the d40

[seres88]

I am looking into purchasing a wide angle lens however I am caught between the tokina 12-24 mm and the nikon 24 mm f/2.8D prime lens. Which one do you recommend and which one have a better image quality?

[QQQQcon]

@seres88 depends on what you shoot, for landscape the 12-24mm is the one I would choose.

[ninjaboyteen]

can i use the tokina 11-16 on my d3100 ??

[QQQQcon]

@ninjaboyteen No i dont think so.

[plnbj13]

I am looking into purchasing a Nikon D90 and would like a wide angle lens to go with it. Which Tokina would be better for a beginner, and would they both work with auto-focus?

[QQQQcon]

@plnbj13 the tokina 12-24mm is the best deal. 

[pinoykillah18]

@QQQQcon quick question: u said its cheaper than nikon, but how much?

[lohwhyekeat]

Great review! i would actually recommend that you stop banging those lenses on the table cos it makes my heart skip a beat everytime you do it. ouch! lol.

[johnofarch14]

i asked you about the nikon earlier but it's way to up for my budget, i'm now stuck with the sigma 10-20 and tokina 12-24.. what do you think about the additional 2mm of sigma? will this give me big difference in terms of wideness??? thanks!!! :)

[QQQQcon]

@johnofarch14 it is a decent difference, not huge though, the tokina is a much better lens and provides better image quality and build.

[johnofarch14]

@QQQQcon thank you so much!!! i think il go for tokina!! tnx men! your the best!!

anyway before everything else, the 12-24 tokina will af in d3000 right?? hihihihi...

[QQQQcon]

@johnofarch14 you have to get the version 2 of this lens.

[akashdmodi]

Can u suggest if its worth buying Sigma 10-20 f3.5 over Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6?? I am confused between Sigma and Nikkor Lens.. I do want the 10 mm wide FOV

[QQQQcon]

@akashdmodi I am not sure how well the new sigma preforms. it should be better than the other 10-20mm but the nikon might still be better.

[StevenRHaz]

trust fund baby...

[KEEPitSTUPID]

so if the tokina 11-16 is ultra wide why is it not good for landscapes? softens in the higher apertures? focal range low? help! as this was a huge contender in my choice, my only downside to it was the 5mm zoom range. thanks for review

[QQQQcon]

@KEEPitSTUPID it doesnt have a good focal range for landscapes, yes it gets wide but the tokina 12-24mm is a much more useful range for landscapes. focal range is a huge deal.

[KEEPitSTUPID]

@QQQQcon Thanks for the reply, so with the extra sharpness gained by the short focal range you still recommend the extra length over cropping to suit composition?

[JanPB]

Nice! But they are all zooms. What I'm waiting for is a large-sensor non-SLR, so I could use the best wide angle lenses ever designed: Aviogon, Biogon or Hologon. They cannot fit SLRs because their rear elements almost touch the image plane and the mirror would be in the way. SLRs were originally created as a necessary evil to enable TTL viewing. With digital sensors TTL is easily accomplished without mirror box (with its notorious mirror slap) and the pentaprism (with its bulk and weight).

[MrNullifier]

A wide angle lens is the next lens I'm going to get and this review was really helpful. I'm definitely going to buy the Tokina 12-24. I'ts cheaper than the Nikon and much cheaper than the Sigma and considering the build quality and the way you praise the Tokina it's a no brainer for me and my wallet. Thanks mate.

[MyNobuhiko]

i have my nikon d90 and i'm currently looking for good ol' wide angle lenses, which are the best ones in terms of travel, nature and general photography? please help!!!

[ar4216]

I'm thinking about getting the upcoming Sony A55 which is a small camera. I really like the Tokina 11-16 best of all but I'm wondering if that lens might be too big for the A55?

[QQQQcon]

@ar4216 the whole point of the A55 is the size so you might want to consider a smaller lens if size is important

[xgarry888]

THANKS for the great review Connor :D

[dlanyerx]

oh, you missed the great Canon 10-22mm :D

[QQQQcon]

@dlanyerx I would have included that too, but I dont have a canon camera to test it on.

[assiplatte]

have the tamron, agree with what you said...not really usable

[QQQQcon]

@jaehoppa would have but it is not available to rent

[antropoloscar]

great

[erikRairden]

I tried the 11-16 on a D300 and didnt like it. I took it back.

At 11mm its nice, but at 16mm the image turns out overexposed or washed out.  Flat. And I thought it was soft compared to my other Nikon lenses.

[scooterphil]

Im sure at 2:18 you say ' To make the Shory Stort '. Haha!

Excellent review though (as are all of your reviews ), Very helpful towards people after wide-angle lenses.

ThumbsUp.

[coldsummernights24]

@scooterphil hahahahahah!!!!! damn

[darkhaddow]

the tokina 11-16mm is it good for landscapes if i use the d300 ? it makes it 16.5-24mm right ?

[saithihahseng]

GREAT thanks for the review.... great job :D:D

[hairyferry]

great review! Thanks so much for doing that!!

[SecretMisery]

Great to see a new video! Thank you for sharing your opinion(s) about these wide angle lenses:)

[Calrlito]

[CURTKURT24]

[QQQQcon]
