I know people say that about the Nikkor 12-24. I don't find it all that bad. Perhaps I got a rare good one (it came from ebay) or it could be that I don't do enough of this type of photography to know what I'm talking about. I'll do what regulator did and post a few shots. May of which most of you have seen before.Newfie said:

I think it the real points are the 11-16 is amazing within the range...its super fast and good at low light with a continuous aperture of 2.8, but if you need more range just go with the Nikon 10-24. Both are reasonably priced.

According to what I know, use, and all the other nikkonians use the fisheyes (from worst to best are as follows. Tamron !@#$, Nikon 12-24mm, Tokina 11-16mm, Nikon 8mm, Nikon 10-24mm, Nikon 14-24mm, Nikon 10.5mm...

Will the Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 AT-X 116 PRO DX Lens autofocus with the D3100?

Welcome to the forum Tamiaphoto.
I think you'll find the 11-16mm F2.8 AT-X 116 PRO DX Lens needs an in-camera motor like the D90 or D300 etc have.
Ooh, nice pic Graphicnatured.

Thanks spraynpray, I thought that might be the case. Somehow I thought any lens with the "DX" designation would have the built in focusing motor?
anyone know of a place where Nikon mount lens focusing capability is summarized, perhaps in a table?
Ditto regarding the pic by Graphicnatured! Spectacular shot!

I have the Tokina 11-16 and Love it. My only gripe is the slow focus, if that’s important to you any Nikon with the silent wave motor will focus much faster. But at half the price and super sharp you really can’t beat it.

Slow focus? I have not experienced that on my 11-16. I guess it's a matter of perspective.

I have used both and the 12-24mm is more practical but the Tokina is sharper. The problem I had was the Tokina acts like a wide angle prime so I put it with cash towards a 14-24 when I went fullframe. If image quality is what your after get the Tokina especially if you shoot only wide. Get the Nikkor if you need the full wide angle focal lengths. With DX cropped 12-24 is 17-35 or so to keep that in mind. You get almost 16 which is nice and wide with the Tokina.
