I have read so much about the Tokina 11-16 F 2.8 and its sharp focus. I have been debating for awhile to buy a used lens. My question is the Tokina 11-20 f2.8 is also considered a good choice. Do any hoggers have any hands on experience with these two lens. Thanks as always

Performance is virtually identical-excellent throughout the range.

Oh boy. Didn€™t read all the great comments but relax.

Its so much more than a camera. Of course the camera is an important aspect, but there is so much more. Much much more...

...your post processing skills. What you see for a shoot, your vision, planning, set design, listening to your heart and your clients desires. Seeing the end result in your mind and using your tools to create that vision. Seeing the light. Creativity.... ya! a camera matters but is in no way ever a primary concern.

You can take a 10 Year old 12 megapixel camera and never get close to its true level of quality or do it any justice at all.

Heres an example I posted here before with a 10 year old 12 megapixel camera. With a 23 year old lens bought in 1995.

So don’t sweat pixels or anything else. I’ll be getting a new camera soon and place this one in backup due to age. Not pixels. Ive produced full poster size prints for clients with zero effort on the pixels part.

Meanwhile, I’m getting a continuously excellent return on investment. And most important - very happy clients who love the results and could care less about that greasy pixel stuff.

A little “hot” around the eyes, i.e., too bright and a little too contrasty, but your point is well illustrated and taken.

Because sometimes he oversharpens his images, IMO.


Agreed. I sent him a pm once on this issue and he took serious umbrage.

Peter - I was not aware of the GPS info that is recorded on some photos - yes that makes a big difference - I am sure my camera gear is not spreading my address info.
Oh - over the past 2 weeks I have added another $29.99 worth of gear to my T3i kit.

Ignorance is bliss and frequently very dangerous. I look forward to your apology.

ROTFLMAO I have been on internet groups for over 20 yrs and this is the most paranoid statement I have ever read - I am having a hard time understanding how anyone could track down where someone lives/their home address from an internet post.

Man, you are either naive or deplorably ignorant.

This forum needs candor, honesty, and the occasional ungracious comment.
The polite, always-agreeable contributions do little to incite meaningful discussion.
Gathering my gear, and taking a group shot of it, to be posted; is not my cup of tea either.
Kumbaya.


That’s because you are blessed with good sense.

Jim Bob, Why are you so angry. Suggest you re-evaluate your meds and seek the help of a mental health professional. You might want to try a hobby, I hear photography is fun! Why don't you go and shoot some images, instead of trying to make fun of the folks on this forum?? I see by the numer of your posts that you don't really have anything better to do. That is sad. Try and contain yourself. Is it any wonder you don't say where you live in your profile!


Angry? Just because I call them as I see them? Guess most posters on this site must be angels then. They rarely meet that standard.

i was hit by a rogue wave (4'+ water on a long flat beach!) and momentarily tumbled underwater, so both camera and zoom lens had brief immersion in salt water - can either of these be salvaged? best solution would be someone who could do the work themselves, rather than sending our for repair

any suggestions?


I’m sorry but a professional cleaning is your only real option and I am doubtful results will be favorable.

Did it make you feel better in calling the guy an idiot? He is proud of his selection of cameras he chose for his upcoming travels. If you do not agree with his choice of cameras that is OK. But calling him a idiot is not. Happy shooting.


Didn’t make me “feel” anything. But it is rewarding when I call them correctly as this thread proves.

Dear god...the day I take advice from a Best Buy employee, is the day I’ve given up on life. Thank you very much, but I’ll do my own research.

To the OP the new a7iii would be what I would pick from that list based on your shooting criteria.


Well that Geek Squad is pretty decent. But that camera squad sucks.

It's not up too me to tell someone how to spend their money, only offer useful advice.
The direct answer to the OP's question is no you don't but simply saying no without saying why isn't very useful and would more than likely be dismissed.


Useful to whom? There you go again substituting what may be useful to you for what may or may not be useful to the OP. You guys just can’t rid yourself of paternalism.

You are oversimplfying this issue. He uses excellent lenses which contribute a lot to the quality you are referring to. Skill comes into it too. Ive seen equally detailed and clear images from some other cameras with less MP count. Its a weak argument from your part.


You’re right...again.
