Pros: Fun (on full frame cameras), versatility, compactness, performances against the sun, price (used)

Cons: sharpness (especially at the corners) except for f/8; average to poor on DX cameras

Opinion: I bought this lens on eBay for my wife (she has a Nikon D7100 DX camera). I paid 100€ for it; "if she doesn't like -I thought- I sell it for the same price". She didn't like, so I started playing around with it on my D750. Differently from Nikkor DX lenses, this one does not tell the camera to switch to DX format, so half of the times, I ended up with full frame pictures with the built-in hood taking most part of the frame. I soon realised that those pictures, taken at 10mm, were way more interesting than any other taken with the DX crop. I exported them in Keynote, applied a circular mask et voilà: good old fashioned circular fisheye-like pictures. Really impressive. Really fun! Of course you have to accept some compromises. First and foremost: you can only shoot at f/8. At any other aperture the performances are heavily compromised: more open, and the corners are super-soft, more closed, and the diffraction decrease the sharpness dramatically, this time across the whole frame. So, generally speaking, in order to get sharper pictures, better opening rather than closing (wired!). In summary, I highly recommend this lens as a (very) usable alternative to more expansive ones. To have an idea of what you can do with it, I just posted a dedicated gallery: Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 on the field

Pros: versatility and compactness

Cons: sharpness at the edges

Opinion: It is a very versatile lens, but in my opinion it is an experiment: more a 'concept lens' than anything else. The idea was then successfully applied by Canon and Nikon, but evidently with more advanced technologies and optical calculations. Having a zoom like that on the full frame (D800), it is really very comfortable and it is even more so on the APS format. Unfortunately, this lens acquires a barely acceptable quality only diaframmando to f11, otherwise the edges remain always unclear. Having a lens that is not clear on the edges is an absolute contradiction. We are talking about an extreme wide angle, where very often the sides of the frame must give depth and setting to the whole image, and then here that the edges visibly nebulous penalizes very much the image. VOTE 7-

Pros: Funny, compact

Cons: nothing of that

Opinion: It is a first and foremost goal. You can play from a pushed fish to an extreme wide. It's the classic joker that you would pull out of the cylinder when you least expect it. Always carry around, not cluttered and does not bother. Obviously, extreme nature makes the necessary composition of care. It's very easy that unwanted elements fall into the frame, and keeping it on the bubble is complicated, but if one wants to be creative and have fun, even with the point and shot it's all right.

Pros: Construction, clarity, practicality

Cons: Price?

Opinion: I own this fantastic Fisheye ultra-wide zoom for years, brought with me. Small, compact and robust to be a fisheye. Distance of 10mm (fisheye effect Fluent) s 17 (effect wide with little distortion if you put it in bubble). You have everything in one lens. For those who do not want to dare with the Samyang 8mm example of this is a valid objective to always wear. I did about 20 countries coupled with the Canon L IS 28/300 and had worldwide focal lengths at hand. I would not change it for the world. rnPossibilità to put some filters using the built-in hood with internal thread, 17 is perfect without distortion. For example, an ND 1000 marries perfectly with the lente.rn
