Did you notice that his 7100 IS a crop sensor. Of course you get vignetting using it on a full frame! Put a full frame lens on a medium format or 8x10 camera and see what happens.

Same for me! Takes sharp photos!

He is already on the good side of the trade by a long shot. That makes the validity of your advice somewhat questionable unless you simply against 3rd party lenses period.

I have that lens in the Sony mount. I use it for night skies as well as landscapes in the Badlands. There is an infinity focus issue using auto focus with some copies. Do a google search for more info and for a simple fix if yours has that problem. Or just manually focus, which is quite easy to do with that lens.

Enjoy it. It's still a really good lens and you got a great deal on it

Hey Royce, I have a Tokina 11-16 right now on my 60d which effectually makes it a a 17 - 27 or so. This is ONE VERY SHARP LENS... You will NOT be disappointed. Look in the Gallery as I just posted " Midnight Mass " that was shot with the tokina... Check out the detail in the download... This is a great lens.

I love mine. It is very sharp but there is a learning curve involved in mastering it.

You will be shooting mostly through the center of the lens design which will be the sharpest part of the lens design. At $119, I would find it hard to be disappointed based off my experiences with Tokina.

I have one that I use with my D500. I like it a lot! Someone said it was heavy but I don't see that! Great lens! Great price! What's not to like??

This is a great lens. Think it is now an old model, and bargains are around (l just bought one for 150). Works beautifully on my Canon. Yes it will be effectively a less wider angle but still will be razor sharp on your Nikon crop sensor D7200. Good luck!

Excellent lens for DX work. I have one from the time my D-90 was my primary camera.

Hello Royce!
I suppose You ordered this lens because You want to get a really wide Focal Length...and this "11-16 mm" (=16,5-24 FF sensor) offers probably the wide field of view You are looking for.
So far, Your choice is nice: You get the short FL You may need...11 mm on APS-C sensor is really very wide!
When I need very wide, I shoot (rarely!) 10 or 11 mm FL with a Sigma 10/20 + Nik. D7200.
I'm always pleased with those images : sharp, plenty of DOF...but it require a bit of training when it comes to manage how the perspectiv do impact the look of the image(lens distortion)...which can be partially "corrected" via post-treatment/edition.

That said, CHG Canon mentioned a drawback regarding lens distortion=hélas, CHG Canon is right...quite always!
But I'm sure, this Tokina 11/16 will make You happy (architectur/monument/landscape/ incredible sky+much more). At the time I bought the Sigma 10/20, I was looking for this ToK.11/16 but it was either unavalaible as 2nd hand..or was too expensiv.
No problem, buy it for this nice price tag(119 USD)...and if required, You can always sell it back! This lens is just exceptionnal!

I used it to shoot at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. I got the entire Space Shuttle in the frame from only a few feet away. It can also be used on a full frame body with no vignetting at the 16mm end. It's one of my favorite specialty lenses.

That’s what you want a wide angle lens for. Not a landscape.

If you compose carefully, you can do landscapes with an UWA lens. You need something of interest in the foreground to anchor the shot and then something interesting behind it like an amazing sunrise or sunset. I really like it in the Badlands and
Yellowstone. Sadly, I see many people use them to just get as much in the frame as possible, making everything look distant and small.

For example, this was taken with a Loawa 9mm on a Sony A6600. It is something that these ultra wide angle lenses are good at capturing.
