I read everything I could about wide zooms FX and DX. For DX, this one is the best. I bought it for a photo safari to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada, and another to Big Bend National Park.
The Tokina may be a good lens, but the zoom range is very limited. At 11mm by 16mm the Nikon is at least as good plus you still have range to use. That makes the Nikkor a no brainer.
I just returned from a 8 day photo safari of the upper east coast of the USA, and Canada. I took over 800 photos most with this lens. As it turned out I was very happy I bought the Nikon 10-24mm, and did not choose the Tokina 11-16mm. The added range made all the difference.
Light Houses, harbor sunsets, ships at sea, city streets, building interiors, and lots more. This lens was on my D90, and a 18-200mm on my D40.

Why would I sacrifice the quality, accuracy and reliability and get an off brand? If you plan on keeping your camera for several years stay with Nikon. This is a great lens and the Tokina won't be as sharp, reliable or accurate. My philosophy is to get the best I can and after some bad experiences with non Nikon brands I am just going to try my best to stick with Nikon since I have a Nikon camera. It will pay for itself after a year or two.

I did my research on this lens from the day it was in talk of coming out. When it came out, daily I would look for reviews because I was planning to get the 12-24mm f/4. Manjority of the reviews were my amatuers or hobbyist (spell check).
In summary, they didnt know how to use a wide lens (that is the many problem for anyone that can't use anything from 8mm-35mm). Other say the construction of the lens differ. Well that is true but for people that take care of their lens and not looking to drop it, you would be fine but still that reeason this dumb.
Here is my professional summary from a professional photographer. I brought this lens to complete my "all purpose travel kit"...lol. I have the 10-24, 24-70, and 70-300. What else do you need. besides for Nikon to come out with a lens that shoot 10-24 at 2.8 and lower.
For now with that, you can just invest in the 12-24mm f/2.8 if you can. I dont have that lens yet but soon I will but I dont really need it now with this 10-24.
People would say "what about low light?" I would say use a flash. Others would say "what about situations in which you can't use a flash?" I would say use primes because with primes you can get f 2.8 to 1.4 autofocus and the results are great. I have a few primes and I am not selling them.
Anyways, 10-24mm....great investment. I shoot models with it, landscape, and soon other things. Great investment and it's SHARP.
In final, If you know how to use a wide angle.....using this super wide lens will be a walk in the park. If you don't, learn or ask a real professional the main reasons for wide etc.

I find the lense very usable. It's a very fun lense at the 10mm length.

My husband purchased this lens from Amazon because of good service I received in the past. It is available from other online sources for slightly less. He reports that the lens arrived a day earlier than expected (thank you) and has been used for interior and exterior shots. On a d90, the built-in flash works from about 19 to 24 mm without lens shading. It focuses fast, balances well with the d90, and the pictures are sharp and have good contrast. At the 10 mm end, it gives great angle of view, with expected barrel distortion. Got sharper stopped down to f8. Distortion fades up to 15 mm and from there to 24 mm, it is a sharp lens for family and outdoor shots. This will be his main d90 lens. He was considering the Nikkor 12-24, but wanted the extra WA, considered the Tokina 11-16, but again wanted the extra WA and had concerns about availability and QC issues. Wishes there was more technical test data, but he needed a good WA lens now for upcoming vacations and is happy with this choice. Says Nikon has never failed him and Amazon was solid.
