Hey Hoggers, looking at an Ultra Wide for a 7200. Nikon 10-20, Sigma 10-20, Tokina 11-20,Tokina 8-16 for Landscapes and Interiors. So far leaning to either Tokina. Done a lot of research.
Thanks

Hi Royce - I use the Nikkor 20mm D on both my Nikon FX and DX, works well for me. chase

I have the Sigma 10-20mm, f3.5, and love it-find I use more than I thought I would. I shoot a Canon 7d2(crop sensor), and find the range very useful. The lens produces very sharp images.
I chose the Tokina 11-20 F/2.8 Pro. Its been a while, I don't remember the reasons other than the f/2.8

Another happy Sigma user here. The sharpness is great set one stop down, even in the corners. I've heard great things about the Tokina as well. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of these choices.

Two days ago, I did a straight-up A/B/C comparison of three ultra-wides. On my D7200, I shot essentially the same shots using the Nikon AFP (DX) 10-20mm and the Tokina ATX 12-24mm, and on my Fuji XT-2, I used the Rikinon 12mm. (I also shot effectively the same shots using my Nikon AFD 20mm on my FX body Nikon, and while its a wide on the FX, it doesn't/wouldn't qualify as an ultra-wide when used on the DX body.) The best I can put it is, in a real-world, practical application of any of these lenses, there is no qualitative difference in the results of any of these lenses, in spite of whatever DXO or any other reviewer might say. Granted, I did not specifically use either of the Tokinas or the Sigma you mentioned, and for many, other considerations --overall build, maximum aperture, etc.-- will be factors that influenced their choice, and could likewise influence your choice, too, but so long as you concentrate on landscapes and interiors as you stated rather than lens test charts and gear-geek hair-splittings, cost could easily serve as what might prompt you to make your choice. Otherwise, each/any of the lenses you mention can be exceptional if you do your part.

I have had the Tokina 11-16, Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 and Sigma 8-16. For me the 8-16 was the best head and shoulders above the others. Not only the best in terms of sharpness, but much better controlled flare and CA than the Tokina. Also AF with correctible MF. Not to mention that it is significantly wider at the wide end. If you really need the extra speed the Tokina is good with the above caveats, but for me the Sigma has been nothing but excellent.

You have done your research and I'm sure one of the responses will put the icing on the cake. It just dawned on me. There are a lot of women who are on this site. Very rarely if at any time do they jump in and offer their beliefs. Just a passing thought. Good luck.

If your leaning the way of Tokina, then my recommendation will not mean much. I am a fan of the Nikon, it has been a good lens for me after many years of service and will be worth more used than the Tokina.
Did you include the Tamron 10-24VC in your search?
Tamron 10-24 (the most recent version). This may be the best in its class.
I have the Sigma 10-20 and used it exclusively in our Utah canyons tour. A great lens at a decent price.
I can't say enough good things about the Tokina 11-16 2.8. I just sold mine because I moved to the FX format, but the Tokina was a great lens for me.
I have never used one but every image I have seen and every comment I read about the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 has been very positive.
Thanks guys for your input. Never really gave much thought to the Sigma 8-16 I will look into it. I use the Sigma 17-50 and like it very much so the Sigma sounds like something I might get.
