What customers say about "Key Specs"
Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Lens Black
  • The aperture changes to f/5.6 but the sharpness is still there, a great lens for either landscape or urban photography.
  • Although the aperture range is a little on the slow side (f/4.5-5.6), the Vibration reduction (VR) should compensate for this by allowing a slower shutter speed.
  • Unless you need to photograph people in low light or you want to do astro photograph, the small aperture will do just fine.
  • Maximum aperture F/4.5-5.6, which is not good for low light, indoor, and astro photography.
  • It doesn't have very low aperture so you can't really use it for astrophotography.
Tokina AT-X 116 PRO SD 11-16mm F2.8 (IF) DX II Camera Lens
  • Super sharp anywhere from 12mm to 16mm.
  • Sharp at both 11mm and 16mm.
  • Sharp and relatively fast. Built solid.
  • The focal length and fast aperture makes it well worth the money.
  • Short focal range compared to other options.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Lens Black
  • This lens much lighter and more compact, the ergo is better, and the VR should more than make up for the fact that the aperture is slightly slower.
  • Lightweight and small size which allows you to take the lens anywhere.
  • It is however light and very small, so this may be important to those looking to lighten their load.
  • Not much to say, great travel lens, very lightweight and compact.
  • It's also lightweight, quiet and has fast focus. The photos look good.
Tokina AT-X 116 PRO SD 11-16mm F2.8 (IF) DX II Camera Lens

What customers say about "Imaging"
Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Lens Black
  • Can't wait for Autumn and it's spectacular colours. Crisp, sharp Auto Focus, VR too. Top notch as far as I'm concerned.
  • The colors are awesome and the pictures came out really clear, focus was fast and accurate.
  • Optics are wonderful, crisp and auto focus is quick and accurate.
  • The zoom ring is large, and feels nice. The focus ring turns smooth, but it's too thin for my liking.
  • The focus is electronic, so turning the ring actually does not mechanically focus the lens.
  • The VR is good and the AF fast and accurate, but this doesn't make up for the lens' optical flaws.
Tokina AT-X 116 PRO SD 11-16mm F2.8 (IF) DX II Camera Lens
  • Nice wide angle considering the price.
  • The DX II has an internal focus motor.
  • The auto focus is impressive.
  • Smooth, quick to focus, and fast with nice glass.
  • Manual focus is easy and quick.

What customers say about "Features"
Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Lens Black
  • Great lens for landscaping. Very fast focus. Make sure it is compatible with your camera. Works perfectly on my D7100.
  • The smaller 72mm diameter means that filters will be slightly cheaper on this lens.
  • IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances.
  • It is not compatible with some slightly older Nikon cameras, and some may need a firmware update in order to work fully.
  • There are NO external switches. All of this (AF and VR) can be turned off with your camera though.
Tokina AT-X 116 PRO SD 11-16mm F2.8 (IF) DX II Camera Lens
  • Love the manual/auto slip ring - takes a little learning, but super effective.
  • No lens creep and feels very well built.
  • The image quality is great; very sharp and crystal clear.
  • I am very happy with this lens. Great features.
  • Solidly built, and the helicoids for focus and zoom work great.
