I got rid of the Sigma 10-20mm some months ago because of 'softness' issues , and I didn't the like strange curved distortion either . I've done my homework and the Tokina gets good reviews and my new lens arrived today .
Don't attribute too much of the colours to the lens - I did a levels adjustment and a slight saturation bump on these images .all at F2.8

My house .


I just got back from a meal in town .... my Friday night 'treat' .
The Tokina 11-16 is already my favourite lens of all time , in less than a day .
Here are some shots at F2.8 , all iso 3200 on the D90 .

The one image I took at 16mm , my car parked outside the hotel ...



Vinnies restaurant , where I enjoyed my lamb shanks ...[ the owner , Vito , is from NY ]



Waiting for my meal



one of the rooms in the restaurant ...



and a few other snaps .....

In New Zealand dollars around $1100 . I get a lot of my gear through someone who sells regularly on trademe and he deals as "bartman88" . I can give you his email address of interested - tell him I sent you and he may give a better deal

hey Desmond, congratulations on your new lens! the picture quality seems quite good at wide open.
Have fun!
