Yeah, the distortion on the Nikon 16-35mm is rather hefty, which is one of the main reason that hold back many potential buyers.
AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 PRO FX..

i have use from the afs 17-35, 14-24, 16-35(briefly) and the tokina 16-28(still in process of pushing it and loving it day by day)
17-35(afs motor died on me twice image quality is still good at wide open.)
14-24(love it to max for the wideness and image quality and distortion but thou able to diy not many filter options)
16-35(distortion a pain but able to fix but i just dont know i dont like it, plus its F4, i rather have a 2.8 stop down, VR dont really need it even can shoot at 1/10 or lower, for most of my work it wont compensate for motion blur by subject when high i cant push my Iso further even if 2.8 - 4 is only a small diff, but i gain at least 1/30 of a second)
16-28(2.8, distortion well controlled, sharp wide open, cheaper option, able to take on 100mm filters...)
thus is my personal opinion, a few bro can attest that i have own and use these lenses as they shoot with me.. im not really a technical guy, as long it fits my bills my needs, my wallet.. its ok with me, plus i have a low threshold level for standards.
cheers...

should compare the contrast against back light or shooting into light source too.. in fact this is quite evident in KRW's test.. the nikkor 14-24 still holds the contrast and saturation where the Tokina falls a bit.
that's where the Nikon Nano coating will yield superior to Tokina's coating.
If just comparing within controlled lighting then no doubt tokina is bang for the buck.

hi how do you attach filters to the 16-28? i thought it had no filter thread and the front element is bulging out.

:cry:
but will stubbornly stick to it since I like to use my screw-on filters
edit: The VR is helpful when intentionally stopping down (to increase DOF) and resultant shutter speed is kinda low.
But in conclusion, now knowing more about the Toki 16-28, I would be losing sleep if I had to choose between the 16-35VR and 16-28 :angel:

Have already, don't think bro. When you bought it, you are satisfied with it, meant it met your needs then. So if your needs have not changed since then, then no problems Loh.
If your needs have changed, you can always sell the 1635 and buy the Toki.

bro dont think too much lah, choosing the Nikkor was a easy choice as you had ya screw on filters already, as for me i go for tokina mainly for the 2.8 and i dont have any screw on filter....
like bert say, u feeling the Toki later, sell the 16-35 and u still have some cash left over.. the tokina is around $1200++
