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

It's clear, clean, crisp and fast glass. Great size.
Very sturdy construction and heavy.
It's a heavy lens and well built.
The weight feels good in your hands.

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.
