Professional reviews

Ken Rockwell's Tokina 11-16mm review

Ken seems to really like this lens, and declares it to be superior to Nikon's own 12-24mm lens, and falls just slightly short of the much more expensive (and full-frame) Nikon 14-24mm lens.

Interesting is the fact that the Tokina 11-16mm becomes usable on the Nikon D3 at 15mm focal length - Ken has samples in the review.

Initial samples with a Nikon D300 and D80

Look out for some sample photos posted in this Flickr discussion thread.

I count 11 images, there might be more by the time you read the thread.

I like the closeup perspective shot at f/2.8 for this photo.
