I have only used the nikon 10-24. I travel with two lenses, the 18-300 and the 10-24. I use the 10-24 for building interiors and outside shots of buildings. I used the 10-24 in Venice on the waterways, church interiors and building exteriors, the 18-300 was used for everything else. You will not be disappointed with this lens, sharp edge to edge on 4X6 through 8X12, do not go bigger.

I should have written "stepladder". Putting the ladder in the context of the guy who used the tree was misleading.

I have the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 (IF) PRO FX. And it is a very nice Lens. Does an excellent job just like its Rating say it should. It rates side by side with the Nikon & Canon Lenses. $630.00 New.

Hi George, the Tokina 16-28 is a FX Full Frame Lens.
The Tokina AT-X PRO 116 11-16mm f/2.8 DX II Lens For Nikon is a DX Crop Frame Lens.
Good Luck.

As for Flicker, I have tried it several times but am generally confused by it, it seems like too much is there for me to find my around. Sort of like Light Room. I got it with the Cloud subscription but can't make heads or tails out of it. I know it works well for some people. I love Photoshop and its Browser, and so far nothing else really does more for me. I am interested in working with the image, not cataloging.
I find Flickr and Google Web Albums/Photos indispensable when researching any camera/lens purchases because you can easily search photos for specific cameras and or lenses.
Start by clicking here:
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tokina%2011%20-%2016 (which is set up to show pics taken with Tokina 11 - 16 lenses), select any photo - when it loads you can scroll down to see EXIF data.
Then just enter any other search term in the search field in the upper right corner - like - Nikon 10 - 24.
Like i said above - indispensable when researching cameras and lenses.

Yes that does sound workable for Flickr. I also Googled "Google Web Albums/Photos and found references to Picasa or Google+. Which one are you referring to? From what I can see they are separate but Google seems to try to redirect Picasa users to Google+.

Oh, a step ladder like in a small portable 3 step foldable design? That sounds like a good idea for the group shots.

I can't get over those long legs in the unadulterated version. Do you have any horizontal shots at 10 or so mm? You would not normally take a group shot vertically with wide angle lens. What you have is the exception to the rule! That is probably the only place in the USA where you would need to do that because the redwoods and sequoias in California are probably the only trees in the world like that, and you would want to show that in the photo. Strangly enough, I just did a panorama of a tree, combining 4 photos. Here is an attachment of it. I find the form of a tree to be very aesthetically pleasing.

Perspective distortion.
See example below at 10mm.
I was suggesting making the panoramas for the inside Real Estate shots. I agree it can be tricky with large group shots. One of the better tricks I saw recently for group shots is to spread them out vs. lining them up. Also you might want a ladder.

Web Albums has been folded into Google+ Photos. If you have existing Web albums (like I do) you can still use the Web Albums interface and do searches, but the hits are displayed through Google+ photos UI. From a new user perspective Web Albums are no more.
