Hi Joe,
I cant comment on the Tokina 11-16 however I have the Tokina 12-28 and am very pleased with it, I use it on a D7100 and D7200. That was after I had done extensive research and every review I found pretty much said the same they put its performance in real world use in the excellent range. Suggest you read Ken Rockwell's review as he claims it is the one that has the lowest distortion. I had the Sigma 10-20 and found the range too limiting. Ken makes particular comment about the better range, he says it is best on the market. I find I can leave it on the camera and use it as a semi normal as well. As for the f2.8 v f4 well unless you have a particular need for using it in low light then its not a great difference considering you can up the ISO a little to compensate and particularly on the D7200 still keep noise at acceptable levels. The 12-28 is big and has a big front element but I find it very well balanced on these bodies and it is certainly pro quality build. I generally don't use 3rd party lenses but the Tokina range is better than most of them on offer in the wide range designed for DX many are too plastic and over priced, dare I say Nikon in particular.

Performance is virtually identical-excellent throughout the range.

I used the 111-16mm lens for a few years - no complaints. I would look for reviews and comparisons of the 11-20mm. After a quick glance, it looks good.

I have the Tokina 11-16 F2.8. I use it for my indoor shots more than anything. Love it for shooting in museums and places like . I have it on a Canon t5 and also use it to shoot in were there is glass covered cases with my filters. I like this lens for all my wide angle shooting.

I have the 11-20 f/2.8 and it is the lens I use most often and have been nothing but pleased with its performance. I personally really like the way the lens switches from AF to MF as it is not an action oriented type of lens to begin with.

If you check the dxomark ratings, the two lenses get similar ratings:
the 11 to 16 mm gets a rating of 22 (more or less out of 50);
the 11 to 20 mm gets a rating of 21.

Several reviews tells that the 11-20 is the widest lens with the least distortion on the market, and it’s considered better than any other comparable lens regarding speed and sharpness.

As said in other replies, the 11-20 handles direct sunlight, ie sun flares, far better than the older 11-16.

The only Tokina lens I had was the 12-24 f4 and it was tack sharp. Used with a full frame camera it allows the user to go from around 16 to 24mm without vignettes.

I have the Tokina 11 - 16 II version and use it on both my DX cameras and FX D750. I have never noticed the flare issue because I didn't try shooting close to the sun, which I rarely do with any lens. The f2.8 is very useful for astrophotography such as the Milky Way. On the D750 I get no vignetting at 16mm and only slight vignetting at 15mm. This has saved me from buying an FX ultra wide angle lens for the D750. Especially for astrophotography an FX camera is superior in noise to any Nikon DX, even the D500, which I also use.

My question about the 11 - 20 mm model is how it performs on an FX camera. If it gives significant vignetting at 16mm and above, that would not in my case, compensate for the increased range. Can anyone with the lens answer this?
