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

Alright I'll try to write it as soon as possible, hehe...

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

Sorry. FM as in fredmiranda.com: Specialized in Canon - Nikon SLR Cameras, Forum, Photoshop Plugins, Actions, Reviews, Hosting and Digital Darkroom

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.

 

[dj_mocok]

Sorry, not yet, hehe...

In the mean time, please direct all queries to Mr Bigshot since he also got one and looks like he's been using it for awhile too.

Right from the rumor mill, we may be seeing a revised nikon mid range zoom incorporating VR at WPPI 2009.
Wouldn't that be nice? It sure would for people photographers in low light!

A decent zoom with VR would be awesome indeed.

But why? VR is all but useless in a midrange zoom since you can hand-hold at such low speeds anyway.

50mm at F/2.8 isn't that fast, especially when no flashes are allowed during the ceremony.
