Description:
Tokina 12-24F4 AT-X PRO DX
Probably the best value for money ultra wide DX lens around, the 12-24 is one of the most highly raved about ultra wide around. It has been very frequently compared to nikon's own AFS 12-24F4, some review have claimed that they are comparable in terms of image quality and the 12-24 even uses the same optical formula as the nikon 12-24 which cost twice as much. Frankly speaking, apart from the AFS SWM motor in the nikon which allows slightly faster focus and AF on bodies that require built in motor such as D60, D3000 and D5000, there is little marginal benefit in getting the nikon. In fact many photographers actually find the tokina more solid, heavier and significantly better built than the nikon.
This is the slightly older version without the built in motor, this is really only an issue for bodies that require built in motor such as D60, D3000 and D5000. The version 2 with built in motor is the same optically and but its built in motor is unlike that of nikon's AFS thus is not as fast or silent. The non motor version selling above may actually focus faster with semi pro bodies like D200 and D300. Image quality does not disappoint for sure, expect sharp images throughout the focal length range at F4, together with high contrast, this is easily attested by the high number of this lens around.
