Looking for opinions, advice, recommendations. I realize a Nikon Lens should be a first choice, BUT..........??

I had the Tokina 11-16mm on my D7100, and when I got a D750, I bought the equivalent Tokina 16-28mm. The price is good, and I have no complaints about quality.

I have the Tokina 11-16 and am very happy with the results. On a crop frame you can use the entire range. On a full frame Nikon you can use 16mm without vignetting. I use it with Nikon bodies and Sony bodies both.

How much are you going to use it? Generally, Tokina makes pretty good quality stuff. I would not be afraid of it. Now, I would not feel the same if it were an older lens, but if it is contemporary and the price is good I’d feel good about it. Does it synch with the model camera you would use it on to provide automatic exposure and focusing would be my only other concern.
I have many lenses, most of which are nikon. I do prefer staying with proprietary lenses. However, I have a couple for use on my full-framer that are not. These are lenses some guys would not use, but they have served me well. If they were lenses I used all the time I likely would have a nikon lens. I truly believe, though I prefer nikon lenses, that almost any of the more well-known brands produce quality products these days.

I have 5 Nikon Lens for my Nikon camera, I do believe in matching Brand with Brand, although at the present time I am needing to watch my $$$, so I thought I would try this Tokina 11-16 wide angle lens, matched to my Nikon camera. Although it would actually have a A.O.V. or F.O.V. of 16-24mm on my Nikon Camera.
I am hoping to pursue Landscape Photography, being inspired by a Photographer named "Mark Denney".

+1 on the 11-16 for a DX body.

I have the Sigma 10-20 for my D7200. It’s a great lens at a decent price so I call that a good value.

+1 for the Tokina 11-16 on DX, and +1 on Mark's inspiration :)

I recently bought the Tokina 11-16 for my D500...on a couple of test runs I'm really liking it. Tried the Sigma 10-20 a few years back and sent it back. Highly recommend the Tokina.

I have the Tokina 12-24 for my crop body Nikon and the 17-35 for my D800. Both are fine combos of price and quality. Stayed away from the Nikon 14-24 because of size and price, the 17-35 because it's known for a notorious squeak issue.

I have 2 Tokina wides. 16-24. & a 17-35. I put em on a Nikon d700 & D 7000. Love them.

The Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 VC Di II HLD is considered to be the best ultrawide zoom for APS-C sensor cameras right now. It's extremely resistant to flare and ghosting. It's fully weather sealed with seals at every ring and switch. It also has a weather seal at the lens mount. The vibration compensation gives about an additional 4-stops of hand holding ability. I've had one for a few weeks now. Highly recommended.
Reviews I have read say the the Tokina ultrawide zooms have terrible flare and ghosting. LensTip.com does extensive lens testing. They show examples of the horrendous flare and ghosting that pretty much all Tokina ultrawide zooms have.

I have the Tokina AT-X 11-20 f/2.8 Pro for my Canon 80D. It is a great lens for a APS-C body. I'm sure the Nikon version is just as good.
