5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent on DX and works on FX too, May 22, 2009

This review is from: Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Wide-Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Camera)
Another work of Nikon lens genius which gives the ability to take dramatic, unusual, never-before-available, super-wide pix. As recently as a few years ago, before Nikon learned to mass produce aspheric elements, manufacturing this complex 14 element lens at reasonable cost would have been impossible. Compared to the earlier 12-24mm, significantly wider angle.

A nice suprise is that this DX lens can also be used FX, with some limitations of course. Although it will give the full zoom range only when used on the smaller DX format, it actually covers the frame of an FX camera - not over the full range but from 24mm down to about 18mm focal length, with acceptable vignetting (edge darkening). I am using it that way on my film Nikon F6 and digital D700. (For the D700, turn the DX Crop default OFF and turn the Vignette Control to HIGH.) This is pretty cool because it means that someone who wants only occasional use of an 18-24mm lens on a full frame camera does not have to go... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB! Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX, September 17, 2010
This review is from: Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Wide-Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Camera)
Nikon 10-24mm SOLD! This will be my last entry here, but please consider my original review as well, since it still applies.

If you notice in my original review, I never really mentioned that the Nikon 10-24mm is "very" sharp, clear, contrasty, etc. Though I've achieved fairly sharp landscape shots with the lens, it's honestly been rather a struggle to do so. Shooting at 10mm really "pushes" the landscape into the distance where one may wish to see sharp details, whether grass, trees, hills/mountains, etc. The perspective is striking, especially with cloudscapes, yet distant details clearly suffer from lack of detail and can be "mushy." In other words, background elements don't resolve as well at 10mm as they would with a more normal lens such as my Nikon 16-85, 50, 70-300, etc. I would say that distant details are rendered about as well as my old 18-105mm kit lens, which is a decent lens, but not the sharpest lens in the bag. Therefore, I've reluctantly sold my 10-24... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Soft in the corners, June 14, 2009
By 
This review is from: Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Wide-Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Camera)
I have owned and shot with the Nikon 12-24, Tokina 12-24, and three copies of the Sigma 10-20. With the exception of one recent bad copy of the Sigma they were all notably better than the 10-24 in the corners. My copy of the 10-24 is nice in the center, but all four corners were uniformly degraded. Every other WA lens I have owned cleans up very fast in the corners at 10-12mm and by f/5.6 was nearly as good as f/11. Not so with 10-24, which is mushy in the corners at f/3.5 and improves only gradually as it is stopped down, with peak sharpness at a bit over f/11. At f/11 it mostly catches up with the third-party lenses mentioned above and Nikon's own 12-24. I have posted sample images on DPR, photo.net, [...], look them up to see what I am talking about.

The 10-24 range is ideal for my needs so it is a shame that the performance is not as good as the 12-24, even at 12-14mm. The MTF numbers would have suggested that it would be better. My copy is not. Since all four... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars After spending an hour with the Tamron and Canon competitors..., July 27, 2010
This review is from: Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Large Aperture Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital DSLR Camera (Electronics)
So I've been bouncing back and forth between the big three competitors. If you're looking at this lens, you've probably weighed Tamron's 2.8 17-50 VC and Canon's more expensive but much beloved 2.8 18-55 IS that's been out for a few years. I finally broke down and went into a store to wrap my hands around all three, shoot some comparative video with the various IS/VC/OS, futz with the focus rings and zoom, etc. I did not run a full professional test on the image quality, but those reviews can be easily found online. In most fields the Sigma beats the Tamron, like Bokeh and low distortion. The Tamron is ever so slightly sharper at 2.8. At 2.8, I do get some easily visible circular distortion in the corners with the Sigma when pointing the camera at a window or bright source. I basically determined that image quality between the lenses was a draw. The Canon tests slightly better, but I found looking through that lens for the very first time that I was getting all sorts of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good lens, August 18, 2010
I am a serious hobbiest, with a Nikon D90. Other lenses in my kit include the 18-105VR, 70-300VR, 300mmf4, 35mmf1.8 and 50mmf1.8. The use of the short fast primes (35mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/1.8) really opened me up to available light photography, but I don't always want to constantly switching back-and-forth, or trying to zoom with my feet (which is not always possible in the confines of a small room). There's a time and place for the primes, but I decided that it was time to pick up a fast zoom to compliment what I already had. I tried a couple of options, and was very pleasently surprised by the Sigma 17-50mm OS.

Sharpness
---------
Plain and simple, the lens is sharp. The image center is quite sharp throughout the zoom range, even wide open. The borders are reasonable good at f/2.8, but are noticeably less sharp than the center, when under 30mm. Realistically, I doubt I'll use f/2.8 for many shots where I require critical sharpness for the entire frame... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Glass, May 25, 2011
By 
Warner M. Smith (Hopkinton, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First, lets establish a few things about me, the reviewer, before you go on to read my review. I am a full time professional photographer. Weddings, portraits and glamor-fashion is where I specialize. I own two Nikon cameras; D300 and D7000. I own a total of 6 lenses for use on these camera bodies; Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, Nikkor 35mm f/1.8, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, Sigma 70-200 f/2.8, Sigma 85mm f/1.4 and this lens, Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8.

Immediately, this should tell you a few things. One, I make money doing photography -- full time. I'm a professional and as a professional, I do not take short cuts when it comes to equipment. I need quality and dependable equipment and my gear needs to work hard. My results must meet high standards for my clients. Secondly, if you look at the various lenses I own, you should be able to ascertain that I do not hold loyalties to BRANDING. Yes, I own Nikon cameras and I love Nikon; but contrary to all the fluff out there by the brand using die-hards,... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A better solution than the Nikon 10-24., November 18, 2010
This review is from: Tokina AT-X116PRDXN AT-X PRO DX 11-16mm Ultra-wide Angle Lens for Nikon (Electronics)
I actually bought this lens from Amazon as a kit, which included a 77mm low profile UV filter and camera cleaning kit. But since all of the reviews for this lens are here, I am posting my review here as well.

I was in the market for a super-wide angle DX lens, and I had originally considered a Nikon 10-24. Then I ran across this lens in several reviews that suggested the Tokina might be a great alternative. I own several Nikon lenses, and this is the first time I did not buy a Nikon lens.

I am really glad I bought the Tokina 11-16 lens.

My first consideration was the focal length. The reason I am purchasing the lens is for a super-wide angle, so the 10mm of the Nikon vs. the 11mm of the Tokina was the most important concern. Published specifications indicate a 109 Deg Field-of-View for the Nikon, and 104 Deg for the Tokina. Doing a bit of math suggests a 4% wider image for the Nikon.

But what does that really mean? I finally... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lens, January 2, 2009
By 
Sammy (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tokina AT-X116PRDXN AT-X PRO DX 11-16mm Ultra-wide Angle Lens for Nikon (Electronics)
This is the best wide-angle lens around for cameras with Nikon DX sized sensors. It's got great optical quality, and with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 it's faster than competing wide-angle lenses.

The only cautionary note I would add is that although the Tokina lens itself is built like a tank, Tokina lens caps seem to be less sturdy. At least, that's the conclusion I reached after the lens cap on my Tokina broke after my camera dropped a few inches onto a tatami mat in Japan. In looking at the broken cap, I wasn't too impressed by its construction with its tiny fragile looking, broken plastic clips. I now have a Nikon lens cap on the lens. If you get this lens, I suggest protecting your investment by buying a Nikon 77mm lens cap for it and ditching the one that comes with the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good performance, January 9, 2009
This review is from: Tokina AT-X116PRDXN AT-X PRO DX 11-16mm Ultra-wide Angle Lens for Nikon (Electronics)
I have had this lens for about 6 month. It is an excellent lens. Construction is Nikon pro quality. It produces very good results with DX body at all apertures, of course a bit better stepped down. Edge performance is significantly better than 12-24 both Nikon and Tokina. It can also be used on a full frame cameras. I used it on D700. At 16mm it has insignificant levels of falloff in the corners, 15 is still usable.
