Sensor and lens of course

I tried sigma 10-20. my body doesn't AF with 1116 tokina. as it doesn't have AF motor.

Yes

Yeahh.. Agree D3100 IQ is good but the lacking of AF makes me difficult in choosing lens.
anyway thanks for the list bro. Will do further research. Thanks!

this is what we want!!!
hahaha...

totally agree with your list bro ...

on a budget thats why i went for the Tokina cos the D90 got built in motor ...

Lol! Then why u still considering Tokina. If you can live without af, just afs all the way. 1224 FTW!!!

Just go 4 2nd body bro...

which tokina are u using?

I tried 4 different units (1 is mine 3 others is friends). All the same behaviour, I'm not saying you can't get sharp images with the points at the side, but the rate is lower.

For example if shoot with center it is probably 9/10, using the left hand or right hand (in horizontal mode), it could be down to maybe 7/10 instead.

The top and bottom are cross sensors so no issue at all.

Read the post before jump into conclusion bro. some more giving feedback FTW!
I said. I am considering tokina 12-24 or tokina 11-16.
where if I want tokina 11-16 I have to upgrade my body because I don't have AF motor.
else 12-24 version II which has AF motor. so I wanted to know about the suggestion. read the previous post before saying "FTW" bro.

d7k second?

11-16 ... the distortion is easier to correct compared to the Nikkor ...

d7k is good choice bro...

pretty hard to find d7k second handed.
maybe after quite sometimes.

just go ahead with new body lorr...

What kind of distortion? You mean the left and right sides of the picture when shot at 10mm? I believe all wide angles have this wide angle distortion. Limitation of the 35mm (or rather the smaller DX) frame.

Having said that, yes, Nikkors are always better but the question that remains is how much better are they compared to the rest...

What did you don't like about the Sigma?

How did you compile this list? Did somebody make a comparison test for all of them above?

Shooting landscapes is usually focused near infinity. Else, use hyperfocal technique and set aperture f8 to f11 and you should get everything spot on.

D3s straight la bro. then no nid change edi

what is hyperfocal technique?

sample of sigma 10-20mm
doesn't really like the distortion. and heard tokina is better with only small difference amount of money.
Honestly I know I want 11-16 tokina it just doesn't AF

No I mean this body doesn't have AF I need to be picky sometimes when buying lens.

the conclusion is 116...is a good choice?

personally, and again, i kinda like distortion and i also think that the G lenses looks better than the D ones so its a win win situation. u got a nice looking lens and also motor in the lens
