Cons:Light flare but nothing serious, construction quality a bit plastic, switching from af to mf, distortion at the corners in some situations
Opinion:The lens is really useful on landscapes, when you have little space and when you want to take photos with many details inside. In my opinion the yield of the colors is not the maximum, I have two sigma goals and the difference is noticeable, obviously not in all situations. Great for night photography. I absolutely recommend it, although a few mm more like sigma 8 - 16 would have made a difference, but that's fine
Cons:It has no real cons, perhaps the absence of stabilizer, but serves little on a wide-angle
Opinion:I had the pleasure of owning this wonderful lens. Let's start with THE CONSTRUCTION, it looks like a small compact hard plastic cylinder like a tank, remarkable the quality of the plastics and controls of zoom and rubber focus. The lens does not extend when zooming. The lampshade is grafted with an anti-atomic mechanism. The lens also supports 82mm screw filters, which you want to tell them. It should be noted the presence of ghieres that make the lens tropicalized (even between room and lens). As for the AUTOFOCUS, it works quietly and quite well-performing, although it is not a native canon lens, really remarkable (certainly we talk about a wide angle on aps-c the depth of field helps a lot, but also at 20mm 2.8 (32mm equiv.), i've never had a problem with it. An audible hair, but nothing serious. It has the window for fire distances (never used, I prefer to use 10x zoom in live view). Nothing serious about the switching system, which I like and gives this brand its character. For the image quality is really remarkable, impressive sharpness, with 24-megapixel room, good at the edges at full opening, fantastic to central diaphragms. Marked the distortion to 11mm (as it is obvious it is), easily rerunable in posts with slow profile on lightroom. Personally I made some of my best photos, also ideal for astrophotography (we say it is the only real lens available for aps-c canon). I would add that it can be successfully mounted on full frame, using it from 14mm up. Nothing serious about the management of the flare, from serious problems only shooting in contrasting scenes against light, causing you to lose definition to what is in the shade. Let's say you either choose another angle or you give up taking the photo, but you'll get it once in 1000 photos. Buy this masterpiece and forget about the 10 22 canons or worse still the 10-18 dark as the night.
Pros:Brightness, value for money, field angle, material quality, sharpness.
Cons:Inconvenient zoom dial if with "rest" lampshade
Opinion:I have been using this lens on Nikon D7100 for three years and I must say that I am satisfied! Overall the AF is quite fast, the building materials are good and it is very bright. The switch from AF to MF is simple but perhaps slightly cumbersome, once every ten steps the dial struggles to gear. The only con that I often encounter (not serious) is the difficulty in using the zoom dial as the lampshade is in a resting position towards the body of the camera, I almost always use a polarizer and sometimes it is inconvenient to find the lampshade that blocks the movement of the hands. I would say a great choice depending on the value for money and I recommend it to everyone! I recommend the paired lens - 82mm filter.

Pros:Sharpness.. brightness and price
Cons:Dial focus from manual to automatic ... flaire backlight
Opinion:I have this lens for some time and I can express my concrete opinion .... I think it's a fantastic lens for sharpness and price.... I use it coupled with my beloved Nikon d7200 .... I do not think there is better at this price even if it has its limits backlight with the classic flaire but with shrewdness you manage to avoid .... Textbook to automatic sled focus that is annoying and fits most of the time and also to add the size of the filters from 82 mm that nn are very cheap ...... otherwise a big lens over-recommended
Cons:MAF Pass ring, 11mm distortion, flare, maybe it lacks a mm of wide angle compared to the competition
Opinion:Starting with the cons, the classic Tokina flare is also present on this optic, but having also had the 11-16 II, I can affirm that things have improved, both in terms of resistance and aesthetic, or when it is present is not so unpleasant. It distorts a bit to 11mm, nothing that can not be corrected in PP but it is a thing to take into account during the shooting. The ring nut to switch from AF to MF is uncomfortable and not really fluid. The positive sides of this lens outclass the negatives abundantly... The brightness of the lenses and the sharpness, acceptable even at the edges, make it the best wide angle for DX. Before him I had the 11-16 2.8 and then the Nikon 10-24 3.5-5.6, and I tried the Sigma 10-20 3.5 of a friend. The only one that I regret is the Nikon but only for the extreme versatility, however the Tokina 11-20 tears it with low hands in brightness and sharpness, especially at the edges. The 11-20 focal range covers a wide spectrum of wide angle/superwide angles so much that I've kept it mounted for a long time in several trips and mountain hikes. For APS-C I don't think there's any better...
