Almost $900 for that lens? Scores well at FMs but the Tokina is a beast.

Excellent! I look forward to reading it. That lens is on my current Maybe Next Year list.

FM i'm not sure of.
But to be a beast means pretty much just that, to be a very impressive and awe inspiring 'thing'... usually relatively large as well.

Beast is a good description of it considering that it can take a 77mm filter. I just didn't expect it to be such a large lens, same with the Nikon 12-24mm lens.

The 11-16 doesn't extend like my 18-200 VR, but telescoped in, it's about the same weight and size. Lotsa glass in that puppy.

See ya

I thought you had the review ready to go.

I can wait but I expect you to parrot what others have said about the Tokina.
