Tokina 11-20mm f2.8 AT-X PRO DX Lens

6 years 1 month ago #573488 by Silver Fox
I just picked up a Nikon D7500 for my wife and she's stumbled on a Tokina 11-16mm, which she managed to find a few good reviews on it.  Then she came across this 11-20mm from Tokina that is a bit more on the cost.  

I'm not familiar with Tokina glass to give her any sound advice.  Would you happen to have an opinion on either of these lenses?  

Please share what you can.

I'm not a Tokina fan so much, I don't care for the build quality of the lenses.  Have you considered Sigma 10-20mm?

I have the Sigma 10-20 myself and while I like the images it produces, I seldom have a need for that focal length range...I only have a few Tokina lenses and they are OK... Not bad, but nothing special

That Tokina 11-20 gets fair reviews, but I agree on the Sigma 10-20.....

Why so serious?

Go with the Sigma, it's a better build quality and focus motor.
